Do we need a Storage Node?
Hello,
I have a question regarding the Storage Node.
Our network contains three physical servers. Two of them are Hyper-V-Hosts with about 10-15 VM´s each. The third server is our Backup-Server with Acronis Backup 12.5.
We plan to back up our servers like this (Disk to Disk to Tape):
1. First we back up the VM´s of our two Hyper-V-Hosts to the hard drive of the Backup-Server. (This is because we want to react as fast as possible if we need to recover data.)
2. We write the backed up VM´s to our tape library. (This is because we store our tapes in a different location.)
My questions are now:
- Is this the a recommend way to do?
- Do we need a Storage Node Server? And if "yes", can we install the Storage Node to the management server (which is our third physical server) or do we need a separate server?
Thanks for helping!
Best regards,
Benjamin
PS: Hope you can understand everything. I´m from Germany :-)

Hi Ekaterina,
I´ve installed the Storage Node onto the same physical server with the Acronis Management Server. It seems to work perfect.
Thank you,
Benjamin
