Acronis Empowers SMBs to Fortify Data Protection with Up to 2TB of FREE Cloud Storage

Launches Aggressive Promotion Aimed at Driving Greater Adoption of Complete Data Protection

Acronis®, a leading provider of hybrid cloud data protection, today announced a limited-time promotional offer to provide up to 2 terabytes (TB) of FREE cloud storage to its Acronis Backup users of version 11.7 and the newly launched version 12. Starting today and ending on September 30, 2016, customers that buy or renew Acronis Backup can get FREE Acronis Cloud Storage for 1 year or for subscriptions for up to 3 years.

"Today's SMBs are struggling to keep up with the growing volume of data to backup, while making sure it's protected from constant threats like ransomware," said John Zanni, Chief Marketing Officer at Acronis. "As part of today's announcement, we're putting the call out to all SMBs to make sure they have complete protection in place no matter where their data resides, while ensuring they keep multiple backups available at all times."

By taking advantage of this special Acronis promotional offer, SMBs can take their data protection a step further by implementing the proven 3-2-1 Rule of Backup - with no cost for Cloud storage for one year. This 3-2-1 rule states that businesses should keep 3 copies of their data stored at all times, backed up to 2 different destinations - disk and cloud are the most popular - with 1 copy stored off-site, usually in the cloud.
