Where does Acronis 10 store the info for images and backups?

Thread needs solution

In the event that our server that has the management console installed fails, I was wondering where does Acronis place it's database for vaults and image locations? I'd like to actually back that up at an off-site location for recovery if Acronis itself needs to be recovered. File and/or path names would be great.

Management console itself is stateless at all and only displays information from agent or Management Server. Then, information in the personal vault itself ( including .meta folder) is enough to re-create it using 'create vault' specifying the path to the existing vault. On windows XP there is path like
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\Locations" where some information about vauts is stored.

I apologize, I miss wrote that. What I meant was where on the Master Server does Acronis store the centralized vault info (paricular folder, path, file name, etc. etc.)? Not really seeing anything that sticks out other than the .FDB in \Acronis Images DB folder which appears to be the most likely candidate since we have the actual images of the various servers stored in 5 other locations but not sure as I am not seeing anything in the documentation that points me in the correct direction and no sense in backing something up that doesn't need to be.

The entire content of vault folder and its database folder (that you specified during its creation) is enough - you can attach it to the fresh-installed Storage Node and data that is in the vault will be there.
