Network settings for archiving

Data center

When you archive your files to Acronis Cloud, they are uploaded to one of the Acronis data centers located in different countries. Initially, the data center is defined as the one closest to your location when you create your Acronis account. Afterwards, your archived files are stored in the same data center, by default.

We recommend that you set the data center for an archive manually, when you are in a different country and your default data center is not the closest to your current location. This will significantly increase the data upload rate.

Note: You cannot change the data center after starting the archiving process.

To select a data center:

1. When configuring the first archiving process, click the Settings icon, and then click Network.
2. Select the country that is closest to your current location, and then click OK.

Data upload speed

When you archive data to Acronis Cloud, you can change the connection speed used by Acronis True Image 2021. Set the connection speed that will allow you to use Internet without annoying slowdowns.

To set up the connection speed, select one of the following options:

• Maximum

  The data transfer rate is maximum within a system configuration.

• Custom

  You can specify a maximum value for data upload speed.
