What is the difference between on-premises and cloud deployment?

Cloud deployment means that the management server is located in one of the Acronis data centers. The benefit of this approach is that you do not need to maintain the management server in your local network. This type of deployment is available only for subscription licenses and at the moment does not include some features of the Advanced edition. This type of deployment is recommended if you have a Mac-only environment or a single Mac to back up (since Management Server cannot be installed on a Mac). On-premises deployment means that all of the product components are installed in your local network. You have to use this method if your machines are not connected to the Internet.
