Acronis Backup Cloud, untouchable

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Acronis Backup Cloud has been setup to provide our clients with an offsite private cloud backup solution.
Pros
  • Powerful deduplication
  • Fast (incremental) backup jobs
  • Really intuitive
  • Stable
Cons
  • To be honest, I can not find any shortfalls with the solution
Likelihood to Recommend
Acronis Backup Cloud is well suited across the board. The only "restricting factor" is probably only applied in developing countries, such as South Africa, where ADSL internet connections are is still prevalent. These ADSL speeds seldom reach 6Mbps, so depending on incremental data changes, backup jobs may not complete in time for the start of the next working day. Having said that, we do have many clients on ADSL connections that have no problem with jobs completing.

Acronis Advanced Backup review

Rating: 9 out of 10
June 18, 2024
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Acronis Advanced Backup has been an interesting product to learn and use. This year we integrated it into our RMM and that has streamlined our operation. We use the product primarily for endpoint data protection although we have 2 cloud servers configured for bare metal recovery. On two instances we had issues recovering data and the help desk resolved the issue within a few hours. The staff has been very knowledgeable and assisting in changing some configurations to prevent the issue from happening again. Overall great product.
Pros
  • Incremental backups, easy to configure
  • Recovery of granular files very easy
  • Bare metal backup with incremental was a bit more complex but functions very well
  • Bare metal recovery works but, as expected dependent on internet speed
Cons
  • The documentation has improved over the years but still has some holed - tech support is always there to help
  • SEIM reporting could be improved. The alerts are fine but integration to SEIM is weak
Likelihood to Recommend
The endpoint protection is fantastic. Being able to recover a single file on the fly has saved many customers hours of frustration. Long term recovery of O365 data has worked well. I bit more difficult but not Acronis Advanced Backup issue, it has been MS issues.
Nothing beats on premise backup / recovery speed but, when it is not available, Acronis Advanced Backup gets the job done for bare metal recovery.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
DMI Networking is a managed service provider for dentists, with a national presence. We use Acronis Backup Cloud to back up servers and assorted devices, and we absolutely love it.

When we switched from eFolder, we saved over $1500 per month in our backup, and we received more features than we were getting before. Acronis Backup Cloud lets us virtualize a server from the backup media, which brings up dental practices in less than 15 minutes, as opposed to the many hours needed to do a complete restore.

I was the person who chose Acronis Backup Cloud and negotiated the contract with them. I also provide the backup solution to clients and am one of two people here who implement it for them.
Pros
  • Quick Virtualization. Acronis can virtualize most systems and get you back up in 15-30 minutes.
  • Encryption of Backups. You own the encryption key, and Acronis doesn't - so not even Acronis employees can get into your cloud data. Encryption meets all HIPAA requirements for data protection.
  • Easy to resell. You can create accounts for individuals outside of the company to allow them access to their backup console. It's very easy to set up, and clients are happy with how easy it is to use.
Cons
  • The website is pretty slow and will kick you off sometimes. I know they are working on this. For now, this is the biggest problem we have with Acronis.
  • Their support team isn't great. It can take a while to get an issue resolved, although issues do not happen frequently.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is used to support virtual machines of hyper-v and VMWare, we have clients to whom we also support this type of virtual machines and desks, making sure that the backups are executed in a good way and stored in the Acronis cloud. All this in a very easy way to execute.
Pros
  • Backup of information quickly and effectively
  • Easy data restoration
  • A simple and quick enablement of the tool, with a simple administration
Cons
  • That there were more agents that could be supported in the cloud

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Acronis is a good backup solution that we use in our organization. It's being used across many organizations we handle. It can secure entire systems, cloud, virtual and mobile platforms. It can also do a bare-metal restore should a major crash happen. It also allows you to restore from the cloud in case a major crash happens where your hardware is physically damaged locally.
Pros
  • Secures any platform.
  • Works seamlessly with Acronis apps.
  • Off-site storage.
Cons
  • Expensive.
  • It can be complicated.
  • You need to have Acronis backup for the cloud part to function.
Likelihood to Recommend
Acronis is well suited for a larger or more complicated business where downtime is more critical. It's also well suited for a scenario where a client has a harsher work environment where there are changes in physical damage to machines. It's not suited so well to a small business where cost is a major factor. It can be an expensive product.
