Acronis Backup – Unique Hybrid Cloud Data Protection For Your Entire Business

Acronis Backup – Unique Hybrid Cloud Data Protection For Your Entire Business

Modern IT is rapidly evolving – 86 percent of companies use cloud technologies and almost 70 percent of the workforce is mobile. As a result, IT environments are becoming even more complex, putting pressure on limited IT resources as businesses depend on data and IT systems more than ever. IT disruption or loss of data leads to significant financial loss – unproductive employees, dissatisfied clients, lost sales and additional costs. With the volume of data exploding and the IT landscape evolving to hybrid cloud environments, you know protecting your data on-premises, in the cloud, and on all devices ensures business continuity.

Acronis Backup protects your entire IT environment. Using its unified web console, you get best-in-class backup of physical Microsoft Windows® and Linux® servers; virtual VMware® and Microsoft Hyper-V®; cloud Microsoft Azure® VMs and Amazon® EC2 instances; Microsoft Exchange®, SQL Server®, SharePoint® and Active Directory® applications; local and remote Microsoft Windows and Mac® workstations and laptops; as well as iPhone®, iPad® and Android® devices.

Acronis Hybrid Cloud Architecture

TRUSTED BACKUP

Disk-imaging Technology

Save complete and reliable backup images to a variety of backup targets including local disks, network storage, tapes, and the cloud. Easily recover a complete image or selected files, folders, and applications.

Centralized Web Management

Easily manage all physical, virtual, and cloud machines locally or remotely via the unified web-based management console, deployed on-premises or in the cloud. Assign backup plans to one or more machines, review status updates, and receive alerts – all from a single console.

Business Application Protection

Protect Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Active Directory with consistent backups, quick application-aware restores, and easy granular recoveries of individual items such as emails or mailboxes.

Cloud Workload Protection

Back up and recover major infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud workloads, and migrate easily between various clouds, virtual systems, and physical machines (P2C, V2C, C2C, C2V, and C2P).

Virtual Server Protection

Back up and recover your Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere VMs and hosts. Migrate VMs between different hypervisors and to/from physical machines (P2V, V2V, V2P, and P2P) or cloud.

Workstation and Tablet Protection

Back up and recover Windows PCs/ tablets and Mac computers for complete protection of endpoints.

Backup Replication and Staging

Replicate backup data between various storage locations, including the Acronis Cloud. Choose to stage the data by automatically moving it to a new storage location when the retention period for the current storage media expires, or let Acronis Backup delete older backups at the end of the retention period to free up space for newly created backups.

VMware VM Replication with WAN optimization

Reduce VMware VM RTOs by maintaining a copy of your VM on a secondary site for quick failover and failback. Reduce the WAN load with built-in WAN optimization.

Acronis Universal Restore

Restore your systems to dissimilar hardware, even virtual or cloud environments, or quickly recover your entire server onto bare metal and minimize expensive downtime.

Mobile Device Protection

Back up and recover data and configuration information on any iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Acronis Instant Restore™

Achieve amazing RTOs of seconds by starting any physical or virtual Windows or Linux system backup as a VMware or Hyper-V VM – directly from backup storage and without moving any data.

Acronis vmFlashback

Quickly restore VMware or Hyper-V VMs by leveraging changed block tracking (CBT) and recovering only the data changed since the last backup.

VMware ESXi Host Backup and Bare-metal Recovery

Increase resilience by backing up the ESXi hosts and restore the entire system to the same or dissimilar hardware.
