Backup that’s reliable and offers complete cyber protection, including identity

We all have valuable personal data on various devices, such as family photos, important documents, and cherished memories. Yet not all of us can confidently say that data is protected.

Data loss happens unexpectedly for various reasons, including hardware failure, accidental deletion, malware attacks, or even natural disasters. Cloud services for file sharing are unreliable ― deleted or corrupted files can also disappear from the cloud. Only a reliable backup tool provides peace of mind.

Most backup tools fail users because they are complicated, or require sophisticated configuration. We designed our tool for busy people who only want reliable personal backups.

Full image backup

Create a complete backup image of a whole system in just a few clicks ― no need to configure anything; all your data is protected.
Local backup

Fast backup to internal or external drives or network share. Good for quick backup and recovery. Having multiple copies is recommended if you don’t use a cloud backup.
Cloud backup

Reliable, secure and speedy backup to Acronis data centers. A great solution for an additional level of protection and remote access to the data.

Protecting your valuable data has never been easier

Backup made easy: Simplify your system backup with preconfigured personal backup plans — create full system copies to local, external, network or cloud storage. With one more step, you can encrypt your backup by setting up a password as an additional layer of protection for your private data.
Flexible backup configuration: For advanced users, multiple options to schedule and optimize backups are available. You can configure multiple personal backup plans, create various schedules, use incremental or differential backups, limit the number and age of backup copies, exclude certain files and folders, and much more.
Automatic backup and event-based backup: Choose to run an automatic backup at every system startup, every time you attach an external drive that is configured as a backup destination, or before rebooting or shutting down the computer. Mac users also have an option to back up their data during Power Nap.
Mobile backup * for edition with cloud storage: Keep your mobile contacts, calendars and photos safe. Our Acronis mobile backup app safeguards your device, as well as all of your family’s data — on their smartphones and tablets. Each user may set up a separate encryption password to keep their data private from other users.
Microsoft 365 backup * for edition with cloud storage: Back up your Microsoft 365 mailbox and OneDrive directly to the Acronis Cloud. Safeguard all emails and attachments in your Microsoft Outlook.com, as well as files and folders stored on your OneDrive, with secure, password-protected backups to prevent deletion by malicious actors.

What our users say

I was always weary of backup software. It is bulky and complicated, and looks like it is designed for an astronaut. With Acronis, I finally found a tool to protect my data that I knew how to use from the first clicks.

I am a technician at a small MSP firm supporting hundreds of companies, and I use Acronis backup solution at home and recommend it to be used by all of my customers at home. Not to mention that we use the business version of Acronis at work.

Internet taught me that I should have three copies of my data – on my computer, on an external drive and in a secure location on the internet. Acronis made me actually do it, because it is extremely easy.
