Did you know that Acronis Backup does more (much more) than just saving files?

Most people think of backup as something pretty simple – just a copy of files, in case something goes wrong. But backup today isn't what it was ten years ago. And did you know that Acronis Backup can actually do things many traditional solutions can't even come close to?

Backup + Security = True

Acronis isn’t just a backup engine – it’s a combination of data protection and cybersecurity in a single tool. It scans and protects your files in real time with built-in anti-malware. So instead of only restoring after a ransomware attack, Acronis tries to prevent you from ending up there in the first place.

You get:

• AI-based analysis of files and behaviors before they’re even included in your backup

• Immutable backups – meaning they can’t be encrypted or deleted, not even by an admin

• Active ransomware protection, built right into the backup agent

Acronis gives you flexible protection – no matter the environment

Do you have a mixed environment with physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud services like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace? No problem. Acronis works just as well locally as it does in the cloud. The backup is image-based, meaning you can restore an entire machine – OS, configuration, applications, everything – to new hardware or as a virtual instance.

You can also:

• Perform direct recovery to a hypervisor

• Restore individual files from a full image

• Automate the entire backup and recovery flow via REST API

Disasters? Acronis is already ready

For disaster recovery, Acronis includes a built-in function to spin up your systems in the cloud. That means you can get critical services running within minutes, even if your entire data center goes down.

You can:

• Define failover plans and test them regularly

• Get notifications and status updates via a central dashboard

• Build redundancy across different data centers and regions
  

What makes Acronis Backup compelling is that it doesn’t just think “backup,” but rather “the whole chain from protection to recovery.” In a world where threats are fast and complex, it’s reassuring to have a solution that covers more of the chain – without you having to cobble it together with three different tools.
