Editions split the product by feature sets, fitting the needs and budgets of customers with different environment sizes and requirements. Editions are designed to help ensure accessible protection at different levels (which is also consistent for the entire environment) and to simplify the selection and sizing of the product during the pre-sales phase.
Acronis Backup Cloud and Acronis Disaster Recovery Cloud are available in three editions
Standard edition
Includes all features in Acronis Backup Cloud 7.9 and multiple new features added in 8.0.
Advanced edition
Includes all features in the Standard edition, plus a number of “advanced” features. These additional features include those related to scalable management of larger infrastructures and support for additional workloads.
Disaster Recovery edition
Includes all features in the Advanced edition, plus all features of Acronis Disaster Recovery Cloud.
Are editions applied to an entire tenant or to particular devices?
Editions are per-customer-tenant, so each customer tenant has one edition with all customer devices licensed by Standard, Advanced or Disaster Recovery editions.
Can I change the customer tenant edition?
Yes, you can change the customer tenant edition – upgrade and downgrade options are available in the management console. Please be aware that in case of a downgrade, data specific to an edition can be decommissioned. For instance, downgrading from the Disaster Recovery to the Advanced edition will lead to the decommissioning of Disaster Recovery data.
