Keep your data up to date with a reliable automatic backup solution

Some people focus on time, others on actions. When it comes to protecting your personal data, Acronis Cyber protect Home Office lets you choose the reason for backing up. Instead of scheduling a backup based on time or day, our event-based option lets you start backups automatically based on what you’re doing.

Making use of automatic backups by setting them daily, weekly or for a specific event (such as launching the system or connecting an external drive) helps you by freeing up your time, and it will make sure that you always have a secure copy of your data, meaning you will not lose your personal data.
