Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions

What People Are Saying

  • Data for many organizations is becoming widely dispersed across multiple on-premises datacenters, public/private cloud and SaaS applications. Protecting these repositories as separate entities, with separate solutions, in inefficient and prone to user error and cyber attacks. There is a market gap for a universal data protection solution compatible with all workloads in all environments and Acronis Cyber Backup is designed to fill it by offering complete protection and defence against ransomware Phil Goodwin, International Data Corporation
  • The new release is transformative for IT. Acronis Cyber Backup is the world’s first enterprise-grade data protection solution with a consumer-grade user interface. It makes the complex job of data protection easy for any IT administrator or business owner. One computer or a thousand, physical or virtual, on-premises or cloud — this robust solution is the newest achievement of Acronis’ proven engineering excellence and it works equally well with organizations of all sizes. Jason Buffington, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, an IT research service
  • Blockchain technology is gaining acceptance as an indisputable method to certify data and verify its integrity. Acronis recognized the need before any other vendor and is ready to offer mature technology just in time when the market is ready. Vitalik Buterin, chief scientist and founder of The Ethereum Foundation
  • Businesses today are up against a rising tide of threats. Cybersecurity threats and data espionage are more prevalent than at any other point in our history – contributing to an anticipated $2 billion loss due to ransomware this year. What is scarier is malicious attacks are no longer limited to hackers; Ransomware-as-a-Service kits can be purchased for a mere $39 by anyone with low moral standards and a desire to generate a few dollars. Acronis has turned the world upside down. Not only have they delivered an innovative protection that any size business can easily use, but also an active protection against ransomware attacks with instant recovery of the affected data. This is a game-changing industry first. Eric O'Neill, former FBI counter-terrorism and counterintelligence operative
  • Acronis Cyber Backup delivers a feature-rich solution that addresses our data backup needs, and gives us a path for our strategic vision, all at an affordable price. Joel Stuart, Network Administrator, Johnson Electric

  • It’s all about recovery time. Our recovery time is cut by an average of 50 percent or more, and it no longer matters what hardware we use to recover to. But in addition to savings, one of the main benefits we get out of Acronis is pure sanity. Acronis is a vendor I rely on. We’ve been able to reduce weekend hours by 10 to 15 percent.Lance Auman Systems Integration Manager, Pentagon Credit Union

  • Prior to getting Acronis, we would have to rebuild an OS and restore from tape, which would take a day or so. Now we pop in a bootable CD and let Acronis do its thing.Don Kurfurst Senior Network Engineer, Clintrak
  • If our Bohemia building is struck by a disaster, we’ll have the images of the physical boxes on the SAN. Rather than having a physical server at the recovery end point, we can take the Acronis image and convert it to a VM. This allows us to meet a 15-minute recovery time objective.Don Kurfurst Senior Network Engineer, Clintrak
  • With the Acronis solution in place we know that we are well prepared in case of a disaster or system crash. I believe we can proudly say that we now have a robust and reliable IT infrastructure in place to support our business operations the best way possible.Willem Trip IT Manager, DV Nutrition

  • We checked backup performance and it’s a lot faster than any other software we have.Suyog Gaiki Senior IT Administrator, Hudson News

  • The software is intuitive and offers the full range of functionalities required by our environment and policies. Backup plans can be easily located and launched, it perfectly suits our needs and plan which provides IT managers with peace of mind.Samuel Chemouni Technical Director, Gerard Darel
  • Without access to imaging products, we would have spent probably five hundred extra administrative hours in the last year to get where we are right now. For us, Acronis has had an ROI of close to 1000 percent.David Wilson System Administrator, New Bedford Community Health
  • Key benefits of the solution include efficient, centralised management with high-level backup protection for mission-critical servers. It frees IT personnel from recovery-related tasks as we now have automated recovery with a simple, guided process which allows us to recover an entire system, single file or folder.Gerard Luiten IT and Facilites Manager, Dolmen Insurance
  • By choosing Acronis, we have been able to install a more flexible and faster backup and recovery solution that gives us greater confidence in our ability to retrieve and recover data.Jaime Lockwood IT Manager, Morrish Solicitors

  • After building the server, we loaded the Acronis Cyber Backup and Recovery 10 plug-in and started running backups. It was so easy to configure Acronis and we had a backup completed in just 15 minutes.Mike Popernik Network Administrator, Oxford School District
  • Since installing Acronis we have had two or three incidents of system failure due to causes such as virus attacks. In each of the cases the systems have never been down for more than 20 minutes due to the excellent restore capabilities of Acronis.Mohannad Maswady IT Technical Manager, Kings Academy
  • Acronis has brought peace of mind to us all, and an increased level of confidence in the way we backup and recover our data. At the end of the day, you just can’t put a price on that.Joe Rylands Group IT Director, Brown Thomas

  • Since the installation we haven’t experienced one backup that we haven’t been able to restore and the speed of recovery is the best on the market. The solution is intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to work from one central management console.Shaheed Mahomed Network Communications Specialist, Assupol Life
  • We use Acronis to take snapshots of a virtual server so we can bring it up in a virtual server environment if we have to carry out a quick recovery. This will help ensure we can be up and running shortly after a failure.Angie Michini Systems Administrator, Hargrove Engineers
  • We can dump a server image on a blank server, and within an hour or two the system will be up. Without Acronis, we would require more staff effort, but because we do have the software, we can bring a server back online in two or three hours without causing an interruption.Carlos Ruiz Senior Administrator, New York City Probation
  • We can pick the most critical machines and use Acronis to restore them to another VMware farm that’s ready to consume any boxes we want to recover.Clint Johnson Enterprise System Architect, Mississippi DOT
  • I can have the Acronis image up and running in minutes, either virtually or on dissimilar hardware. In some cases the dissimilar hardware will run slower, but users can continue to work without interruption until repairs are made and the original machine is back online.Jim Boyer CTO, Rush Memorial
  • Without Acronis, there would be more headaches, for sure, and greater unease. In Florida, we always have the impact of hurricanes to plan for. If a hurricane threatens to damage our facility, we can take the disk images and restore them onto servers located several miles away. Zack Knezevic Geographic Information Systems Analyst, Plant City
  • Acronis’ software ensures that the entire backup process is fully automated, and can be managed centrally by our IT team. As such, staff at our schools and colleges don’t need to worry about business continuity – and can focus on their primary role of educating students.Daniel Gale Network Manager, Sutton Local Authority
  • The Acronis solutions are extremely intuitive with a simple and easy to use GUI. When I upgraded to the latest version, I immediately warmed to the new console which was even easier to work with. Mohannad Maswady IT Technical Manager, Kings Academy
