Key Features

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.

Flexible Recovery

Quickly restore only what you need! Recover granular files, folders, volumes, or a complete server—all from a single image backup.

Disaster Recovery

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

Multiple Backup Targets

Store backup copies in up to 5 different locations for flexible, reliable recovery options. Includes support for local disks, networked storage, and offsite cloud storage.

Acronis Backup to Cloud

All Acronis Backup products have direct access to secure, offsite storage in the Acronis cloud. Simply add a subscription to your purchase to fortify your backup storage plan and double your data protection.

Browsing and Mounting Backups

Browse backups 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

Enjoy complete recoverability! Acronis provides full support for BIOS and UEFI firmware interfaces (as well as all major file systems and partitioning methods).

Granular Backups

Granular backup option allows you to selectively back up specific files and folders (including files from network shares).

Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

Bootable rescue utility that you can launch by pressing F11 during system startup.

Sector-By-Sector Backups

Store an exact copy of your disk or volume, sector by sector (including unused space).

Remote Restore

Remote access allows you to easily restore your network-based machines.

Remote Installation

Simplify management tasks by remotely installing and configuring agents and updates on your servers.

Direct Performance Management

Control your environment with bandwidth and disk-write speed throttling, ensuring uninterrupted system performance during backup routines.

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