Key Features

Acronis Backup and Recovery

How many times have you asked, “If we lose our servers, how long would we be down for and what would the cost be?”

With the current selection of backup programs the answer would be something like this: “Well, I would need to replace the servers.  Then rebuild the operating system.  Reinstall all our business critical applications.  Then I can start thinking about reinstating our data.  Maybe, two days for basic operations, a week to get back to a fully workable state.”

Alternatively, ask anyone running Acronis Backup and Restore and you will get this answer: “Well, once I have the new hardware…..three hours for basic operations, a day to get everything running.”

Acronis Backup and Restore allows backup of not just the data on the system but also the entire system as a single entity.  This means that in the event of a failure you can restore your systems onto similar hardware or even to a completely different system, with minimal effort.

Key features of Acronis Backup are:

• Minimise downtime and meet recovery time objectives
• Entire hard drive contents can be fully recovered in minutes, instead of hours or days— including the operating system, applications and data.
• Centralised management improves IT productivity
• The backup and recovery processes of all workstations and servers can be observed and interacted with from a central management interface.
• Storage and network savings through data deduplication
• The Acronis Backup & Recovery Deduplication option provides affordable file - and block- level software deduplication functionality, helping organisations of all sizes to make a better use of their storage infrastructure and save costs.
• Automate recovery with a simple, guided process
• An intuitive interface makes it easy to install, quick to configure and deploy, and simple to use for both IT personnel and novices.
