Acronis Backup & Recovery for Mac

With "bring your own device" (BYOD) having become a reality for many if not all corporate IT organizations, employees continue to bring ever more Apple® Laptops into the workplace. With a growing number of OS X® machines, IT workers are now faced with the complex challenge of how to integrate them into their backup and disaster recovery strategy. Acronis® can help. Through the combination of ExtremeZ-IP® and Acronis Backup & Recovery®, customers get an easy way to address this problem.

ExtremeZ-IP provides seamless integration of Macs into corporate IT environments that are powered by Windows® servers and Active Directory®. One of its key features allows the OS X backup tool "Time Machine®" to use a corporate file server as a central store for the Mac archives. This uniquely allows an organization to securely store backups from multiple clients in a single server without the risk of compromising access rules. Acronis Backup & Recovery can then be used to secure Time Machine vaults to disk, SAN, tape, and/or the cloud for archiving and disaster recovery. Acronis Backup & Recovery also allows these Time Machine backups to be integrated with the central corporate backup strategy.

The Acronis Backup & Recovery for Mac reference architecture helps IT organizations kickstart the integration of Mac machines.

The Acronis Backup & Recovery® 11.5 Advanced Server Bundle for Mac Backup conveniently includes the components required to address the Mac backup challenge.

Benefits:

• Automatic backup of multiple OS X® Mac® to central Windows® share.
• Eliminates single point of failure by backup to vaults on disk, tape, and/or cloud.
• Integration of Mac backups into the corporate Recovery solution.
• Deduplication of backup data.
