As part of your migration process, you will back up your old server, and then perform an upgrade according to Microsoft recommendations. Good plan, no doubt – but there is one question – will your backup solution cope with your plan? Does it actually support the new Windows Server? Unfortunately, a number of backup solution vendors are lagging behind when it comes to supporting the latest versions of operating systems. If your company has an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, you may be under increased pressure to upgrade as soon as possible, especially if Microsoft is planning to apply the Modern Lifecycle Policy to the Windows Server product line that you use.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/top-five-qualities-good-backup-solution-windows-server-2016/)

If you don’t know what ransomware is, read on. You’re in danger of losing all of the files on your computer. Ransomware is a small piece of criminal software that highjacks your computer by encrypting your files, denying you access to them, and then demands online payment for their release. It’s one of the most shameless forms of cyber extortion, and in some cases, actual blackmail. The threat is very real. If you use email, browse websites, spend time on social networks, connect to local networks (at work, at home, or in public spaces), or use removable USB drives, whether on a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet, you are always a click or two away from a ransomware infiltration. Don’t be a victim. Outsmart cyber-criminals with a few simple steps. It’s easy, but only if you know what to look for.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-ransomware/)

Like many others, I have other Apple products, but I never used a Mac for a long period of time. My fingers are wired to use a 104-key PC keyboard, not the 78/109 keys of a Mac. I don’t have an idea what the “Command” key is, or what it does. For sure, I am not alone. It’s no surprise that many other IT departments try to avoid doing anything on a Mac. They even go as far as “We do not support Macs” statement I’ve heard so often in many companies.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-backup-12-closer-look-mac-backup/)
