Key Features

Universal Restore

Now included with all Acronis backup products, this unique data recovery technology gives you the convenient ability to instantly restore backups to any machine, regardless of platform. Now you can restore files, configurations, applications, or an entire system to the same hardware, to different hardware, or to a virtual server—all with a few simple clicks! Learn more

Full Image Backups

Acronis’ block-level, image-based backups quickly and efficiently capture consistent application and operating system data. Unlike competing products, we automatically skip unused data blocks to provide faster backups with smaller storage requirements.

Efficient Incremental Backups

Incremental backups identify only the changes made since the last backup, significantly reducing backup time and any impact on network bandwidth or backup storage.

Disaster Recovery

Recover your entire Linux server in minutes—to the same location, to new, dissimilar hardware, or to a virtual server. Acronis can quickly restore data locally or remotely.

Deduplication

Built-in source-side and target-side block-level data deduplication reduces the volume of backup data by up to 90%. This maximizes backup speed, puts significantly less load on your network, and reduces backup storage requirements.

Centralized Management

All Acronis Backup Advanced suite products are supported by a unified centralized management and reporting console. Manage and report on all backup operations for all physical and virtual machines from a single dashboard.

Multiple Backup Targets

Acronis writes backups directly to tape, disk, and cloud locations providing multiple RTO options and full flexibility for recovery from multiple media sources and locations.

Remote Restore

Disaster Recovery Plan

After each backup, Acronis can automatically generate a Disaster Recovery Plan document that provides detailed, step-by-step instructions to help you get your system up and running quickly.

Browsing and Mounting Backups

Browse backups in Windows Explorer as if they were ordinary folders, and simply drag-and-drop or copy-paste files/folders from them. You can even mount disk images as a drive letter in either read-only or read/write mode.

Server Migration

Easily migrate a server between any physical and virtual platforms (P2P, P2V, V2V, V2P) thanks to Acronis’ proprietary Unified Backup Format (which enables any backup to be recovered to any server in any location).

Firmware and File System Support

Acronis provides full support for BIOS and UEFI firmware interfaces (as well as all major file systems and partitioning methods). This ensures complete Linux server recovery.

Pre/Post Commands

Define pre or post backup and data-capture commands to integrate Acronis Backup Advanced with other applications (or to temporarily stop some services).

No Reboot Required

No need to schedule downtime and reboot to complete an Acronis Backup installation.
