Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis to back up special clients in our company. This protects us in case company-relevant computers stop working and allows us to restore them on new hardware. In addition, we can clone specialized computers (those with specialized software or settings) onto new hardware when replacing them. This saves us a lot of time.

Pros

Easy administration.
Good overview.
Available everywhere.

Cons

Workloads were incomprehensible at first.
Restoring clients with automatic SYSPREP.
Better to know which ports, IPs, etc. need to be enabled on the firewall.

Return on Investment

Business-critical computers are backed up = redundancy in case of failure.
Redundancy of computers ensures workflow.
No long-term downtime in operation.
