Acronis Advanced Backup vs. OwnBackup

Acronis Backup Cloud is suited for backing up Windows Servers. Downtime is greatly decreased by using their virtualization options. You will need a Hyper-V enabled computer to virtualize, though, but this can be one of your general-use workstations. A Windows 10 Pro machine with 16 GB of RAM would do it for you. Or, if you have Macs that need to be backed up, you can do that as well. You can grab either full volume images, or files/folders. I can't really think of a scenario that you would not want Acronis Backup Cloud, except pre-Server 2012 OS's, since virtualization isn't supported on those older systems.

OwnBackup has been a great investment for my nonprofit organization. However, given price there are scenarios where I would not recommend OwnBackup because there are alternatives that exist at a more modest price point. For any organization with the scale to afford the product, I think it is top of the line.
