1.1. Requirements¶

• For the backup gateway scenario, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure can be deployed in a single virtual machine. For general-purpose deployment, however, it is recommended to create three or five virtual machines to enable load balancing and high availability.
• Make sure the vSphere datastore has enough free storage space. Each virtual machine occupies at least 425 GB (two 200 GB storage disks and a 25 GB system disk). The Acronis Cyber Infrastructure template also takes up about 35 GB.
• Make sure the host has enough memory. 4 GB of RAM is the minimum for a one-node setup. Otherwise at least 8 GB of RAM is required for the management node, and at least 4 GB of RAM is taken by each secondary node.
• Use a separate object container for each Backup Gateway cluster.
