Cloud Backup Solution

Are you doing everything you can to protect your information? While local backup and recovery software offers critical protection against a mistakenly deleted file or from a server or workstation crash, it can’t protect against fire, flood or theft. To survive those onslaughts means investing in a redundant offsite strategy in addition to local backup. Fortunately, there’s a better solution: Acronis Backup & Recovery Online – a fast, secure and cost-efficient offsite data protection service from the leader in local and online disaster recovery. This subscription service, when used in conjunction with Acronis Backup & Recovery 11, offers the benefits of a dedicated remote datacenter providing backup & recovery redundancy without the high price tag.

Acronis Online Storage

Unlike other online backup services, Acronis Backup & Recovery Online does more than just protect your files. It leverages Acronis’ patented disk imaging and Cloud computing technologies to capture files as well as server and workstation operating systems and applications. Backups are stored online in a remote, secure location, fully secured via government-grade encryption. It’s highly cost effective because you only pay one flat rate per machine for the online protection you need.

If you already use Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 software for local backup and recovery of your physical and virtual machines, adding Acronis Backup & Recovery Online is a snap because the two products are completely integrated. One console seamlessly manages all of your backup and recovery efforts regardless of the data’s actual location.

Features and Benefits

Back Up Individual Files or an Entire System Image: Acronis Backup & Recovery Online allows you to back up specific files and folders or an entire system image (including the operating system, applications and configuration information).
Restore Anywhere: Users can restore backed up files or system images to any server or workstation, eliminating the need to match the underlying hardware before they can begin using them.
True Ease of Use: Acronis Backup & Recovery Online leverages Acronis’ highly regarded graphical user interface. Existing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 users will be immediately productive: it’s the same great console they already know and love. New users will find Acronis Backup & Recovery Online remarkably easy to configure and use. Even relative novices can create sophisticated, professional backup and recovery plans that pay off with easy recoveries whenever they’re needed.

Key Features

Online, Cloud-based Data Protection

Acronis stores files and system image backups at a remote, secure location to give Windows servers and workstations the additional protection they need against disaster or theft. No additional hardware investment is required.

Recover Entire System, Single File or Folder

Acronis image-based recoveries give you the granularity you need for any kind of recovery. Restore files or complete system images to any server or workstation, eliminating the need to match the underlying hardware.

Easy-to-use, Centralized Management

Administrators can establish online backup policies for workstations and servers using a powerful, wizard-driven user interface. Existing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 local backup software seamlessly integrates with Acronis Backup & Recovery Online so you can manage both local and online backups from a single, centralized client console.

Flexible Deployment

Meet today’s data protection challenges and accommodate future needs ‘on the fly’ without costly upgrades. Disk-based backup and disk-based recovery options are available in annual subscriptions; pay one flat rate by machine type for the online service. Because Acronis Backup & Recovery Online integrates seamlessly with Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 , the products can be used together to support any one or any combination of these scenarios:

systems that require the two-layer protection of local backups for speed and performance coupled with redundant remote backups to guard against site outages
systems that only require local data protection
systems that only require online data protection

Support for Virtualized Environments

Acronis supports the systems you have today with agent-less backup and recovery of virtual machines to the cloud. You can store virtual machine (VM) backups in Acronis Online storage when used with Acronis Backup & Recovery Online for Virtual Machines. Back up data for all Virtual Machines on a VMware^® ESX server or Microsoft^® Hyper-V server with one Acronis Backup & Recovery Online for Virtual Machines subscription per host. Virtual Machines are managed in the same way as physical machines from the same management console, including grouping and policy-based management.

Government-grade Data Privacy & Security

High-level data privacy is critical to businesses, and Acronis takes privacy to the maximum level. Government-approved AES-256 Encryption is standard issue with Acronis Backup & Recovery Online. Moreover, each customer has the option (and is strongly encouraged) to create a unique private key which ensures that only the user can access their business’ information. Neither Acronis nor anyone else will be able to access your data.
