Maximize Your Data Protection with Acronis Backup Advanced

Universal Restore

This unique data restoration technology is integrated into all Acronis backup products. It allows you to quickly restore backups to any machine independent of the platform. You can recover files, configurations, applications, or even an entire system on identical hardware, different hardware, or in a virtual machine, all in just a few clicks!

Disk Imaging Technology

Block-level snapshots capture an entire disk or volume (including operating system data, applications, and all documents) in a single operation. This technology works for both physical and virtual systems and applications.

Centralized Management

Manage all backup actions—both for physical and virtual machines—via a centralized, unified dashboard. Whether it’s creating and applying backup plans (for one or multiple machines), checking status updates, or reviewing alerts, all of this is done through an intuitive and unique interface.

Business Application Protection

With Acronis's disk imaging technology, you can create consistent data backups even for running applications. This reliably backs up data from Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Active Directory at any time. With granular recovery capability, you can retrieve specific application data without having to take systems offline, thus avoiding costly downtime for your business.

Compression and Deduplication

Source and destination deduplication, along with efficient data compression algorithms, significantly reduce the amount of backup data to be processed, saving costs and preserving existing storage and network resources.

Multiple Backup Targets

Backup your data to up to five different locations (local and in the Cloud) for more flexible and reliable recovery options. Combine any storage media or device (local and external hard drives, tapes, network storage systems, cloud, etc.) to optimize your storage costs and maximize your recovery options in the event of a disaster.

Acronis Cloud Storage

Acronis Backup Advanced allows direct and seamless access to secure offsite backup storage in the Acronis Cloud. Simply add a Cloud subscription to your purchase to enhance your backup plan with the ability to perform hybrid backups (local and Cloud backup).
