
With simplified naming of backup files (p. 54), neither replication nor use of retention rules is
available.
4.5.1 Supported locations
You can copy or move a backup from any of these locations:

A local folder on a fixed drive

A network folder

An FTP or SFTP server

Acronis Secure Zone
You can copy or move a backup to any of these locations:

A local folder on a fixed drive

A network folder

An FTP or SFTP server

Acronis Cloud Storage

A removable device (p. 134) used in the Fixed drive mode. (You select the removable device
mode when creating a backup plan.)
Backups that were copied or moved to the next location do not depend on the backups remaining in
the original location and vice versa. You can recover data from any backup without access to other
locations.
Restrictions

Copying or moving backups to and from optical discs (CD, DVD, Blu-ray discs) is not supported.

Copying or moving backups to and from removable devices used in the Removable media mode
is not supported.

Acronis Cloud Storage can only be the final location. Further copying or moving backups from it is
not possible.

You cannot specify the same location more than once. For example, you cannot move a backup
from one folder to another and then back to the original folder.
4.5.2 Setting up replication of backups
Setting up replication of backups is available when creating a backup plan (p. 34).

To set up replication from the primary location, select the Replicate newly created backup to
another location check box.

To set up replication from the second or a further location, select the Replicate backups to
another location as soon as they appear in this location check box.
Next, select the location where to replicate the backups.
If allowed by the backup scheme, you can also specify when to automatically delete the backups
from each of the locations.
A backup is replicated to the next location as soon as it appears in the previous location. If earlier
backups were not replicated (for example, the network connection was lost), the software also
replicates all of the backups that appeared after the last successful replication.
