Fuss free and full featured backup product you can rely on

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Reliable and easy to use product that is full of features. We use it to back up our Hyper-V virtual servers to local storage and the Acronis cloud. The product just works after setting it up and you dont need to fuss with it all of the time to ensure you are actually being backed up. Our setup throws constant performance errors, despite being turned off, which is frankly pretty annoying.

Pros

  • Easy setup
  • Auto updating agents
  • Reliable backups
  • Easy to use interface
  • Reliable alerting
  • Flexible backup plans

Cons

  • Large datasets to the cloud have trouble
  • Some tasks require you to poke the web API
  • Interface is designed for MSPs and not IT Departments
  • Errors are frequently vague and not very helpful in troubleshooting

Return on Investment

  • We spend about 1/3 the amount of time babysitting our backups now than with our previous backup product.
  • Our per GB usage costs recently doubled

Why I Have Continued Utilizing Acronis Advanced Backup For Over 11 Years

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I primarily use Acronis Advanced Backup as a way to create bootable media to create and deploy images of various Windows-based laptops/desktops. Acronis Advanced Backup makes it incredibly easy to add entire folders of device drivers to these boot drives so that there's never an issue with display or input devices working while in their linux-based boot menus. Their product suite also offers live-device backups, as well as anti-virus services.

Pros

  • Creating Bootable Media for image creation
  • Allows you to create differential backups to an existing archive
  • Includes on-premises antivirus protection and quarantine services as bundled in their product suite
  • Includes additional tools like DriveCleanser for fully wiping drives/data destruction.

Cons

  • They do not sell their product directly, so a reseller is needed - or third party website to process payments for them in order to download the product suite.
  • They have done away with stand-alone software purchases, and have moved to a yearly subscription-based model. It's affordable, but you never truly "own" the software now.

Return on Investment

  • It's less than $100/year for three installs of the software - the price to utilize this fantastic software is absolutely marginal.
  • I believe they have a higher-end business product available, but it consumes a license each time it is used on a device - so I did not pursue any further information after discovering that.
