These peak values are aggregated for monthly billing, while report formats and existing billing integrations remain unchanged. The SP Cloud change takes effect on September 20, 2026. The first invoice under the new model will be issued in early October and cover the full month of September. * DATA PROTECTION ### Agentless VM archive password rotation Apply periodic encryption-key rotation policies to agentless VM backup archives on all currently supported hypervisors. After a password change, new backups use the new password and existing recovery points are not re-encrypted. Administrators can rotate the password again after each protected machine completes two successful backups with the new password. * DATA PROTECTION ### Automatic backup of newly added files Choose whether backups include files added later to selected folders, even when individual items in those folders are excluded. This per-folder option prevents unexpected protection gaps while giving administrators clear control over how file and folder selections handle new content. * DATA PROTECTION ### Agentless backup and recovery for Nutanix AOS 7.3 and 7.5 Protect virtual machines on Nutanix AOS 7.3 and 7.5 through the Nutanix v4 API with agentless backup and recovery. In addition to Prism Element, Acronis now integrates with Prism Central so one agent can discover and protect multiple Nutanix AHV clusters. Recovery preserves Prism Central-specific VM properties, including VM categories. * DATA PROTECTION ### Expanded Microsoft Entra ID backup Back up more Microsoft Entra ID objects, including organization, user, group and role settings as well as custom domains. Improved labels make protected objects easier to understand, while administrators can now find BitLocker keys by device ID. * DATA PROTECTION ### More reliable append-only backups to NAS Reduce the risk of archive corruption for append-only backups stored on NAS devices. The platform automatically switches them to a scheme combining full and incremental backups. Administrators can return to the previous scheme when needed, with updated guidance about the risk. Backup cleanup remains limited to complete backup chains. * DATA PROTECTION ### Faster NAS file-level backups Accelerate incremental file-level backups from NAS shares by detecting changes without scanning every file. Fewer file operations shorten backup windows and reduce load on the NAS. When many files have changed, backups can run up to twice as fast, while smaller change sets see more modest gains. * CYBERSECURITY ### Multilingual Acronis MDR experience Acronis MDR by TRU now supports Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Japanese in addition to English. Partners can set the preferred language with each escalation contact for both partner-level and client-level MDR. The setting localizes service portal communications and reports, with real-time translation for escalation calls. Existing users remain set to English unless another language is selected. * CYBERSECURITY ### Visibility into automated EDR response actions Gain greater transparency into automated endpoint protection activities directly within the EDR incident investigation view. Security teams can view actions performed automatically by Acronis anti-malware, including quarantined files, stopped or deleted processes and mitigation status changes, enabling faster validation and response tracking. * MSP OPERATIONS * Coming soon ### RMM: BitLocker drive encryption management Manage and enforce Microsoft BitLocker full-disk encryption for Windows through Acronis RMM. Define the encryption method and drive scope in a policy, then encrypt compatible devices silently through TPM. Acronis RMM periodically checks compliance and shows per-drive status and progress. Recovery keys are escrowed in Credential Store with two-factor authentication and per-key audit logs. Technicians can retrieve keys from device details to resolve lockouts and suspend BitLocker during maintenance. * INFRASTRUCTURE ### Cyber Frame Local: VMware migration Migrate VMware vSphere workloads directly to Cyber Frame Local with a built-in, guided tool designed for large environments and bulk migrations. The tool transfers VM disks without an intermediate backup or separate backup storage and automatically maps storage and networks while preserving IP settings. Source VMs remain available until the final switchover, minimizing downtime. Real-time monitoring gives partners clear visibility throughout the migration. * INFRASTRUCTURE ### SourceCode: Acronis certified hardware vendor for Acronis Cyber Frame Local Deploy Cyber Frame Local faster with prevalidated hardware configurations from [Acronis Ecosystem Vendor SourceCode](https://www.acronis.com/en/integrations/sourcecode/), the first Acronis certified hardware vendor for the platform. Three hardware tiers support deployments from SMB to enterprise, while the ability to add nodes lets partners expand the same cluster as requirements grow. These configurations provide a reliable foundation for multitenant IaaS environments. ### August ### August 2026 [Release notes](https://dl.acronis.com/u/baas/rn/26.08/en-US/AcronisCyberProtectCloud_relnotes.htm) ### Release overview Acronis Cyber Platform 26.08 helps service providers automate routine operations, extend protection and disaster recovery coverage and gain greater visibility across client environments.
