It allows us to back up a variety of items including data files, SQL and Exchange. The backups can be scheduled for rotations and you can back up to multiple different types of sources.,Backs up different data types.
Backs up to multiple sources including tapes, external drives other servers.

So losing data due to a Hardware failure is still a concern. Due to data security issues at work, I can just plug in a USB drive to make backups of my local files. That is where Acronis Backup came into the picture. Being able to automate my backups to the cloud (or network) was a must-have feature for me and Acronis did that job admirably.,It's really easy to automate a backup. You can choose where you want the back up to be stored (locally or online) and how frequent you want your backups to be. And then just let it run on schedule.
It's very customizable. You can choose what you want to back up, where you want to back it up to and how frequently your backups should run.
Recovery is (I have only had to do it once) really fast and smooth. I was able to get back to a working state without calling in for support and all my stuff was right where I expected it to be.
It is very reliable. Backups very rarely fail and are easy to fix when they do.,Backup failure error messages should be more helpful. Sometimes they are hard to decipher and you have to call in for support.,9,Data safety.
Data recovery in case of system failure.
Systematic backups. You can make a schedule and automate the software to stick to it instead of making ad hoc backups manually.,9,Windows PCVerified UserAcronis Backup - Well Suited for Mid-Sized Business2018-08-23T16:26:23.102ZAcronis Backup is being used by the entire division. We use both the onsite storage and cloud storage of backups. This solves our requirement for offsite backup storage. We also backup every workstation, since the software developers have very specific configurations which would take a lot of downtime to get configured the way they prefer.,Image based backups. After the initial backup, the backups happen quite quickly. This allows for multiple backups per day.
We have different classes of data which requires different retention policies. Acronis makes that easy to manage.
Restoration can be done directly to hardware or to a VM. This makes it easy to migrate a physical server to a VM.,The cloud based backup and the local backup don't talk to each other. I can never get one answer on how much total cloud storage is being used by both the cloud managed endpoints and the locally managed endpoints.
Licensing could be easier to manage. Adding new licenses seems a bit manual.
Deploying agents doesn't always work from the console. I have to occasionally do a manual installation.,9,I think we spend less time managing backups.
We are able to ensure that every computer is backed up. Previously it was more of a manual process for each user.
It has helped us meet our compliance needs.,9,Windows Server

We had originally switched for ease of use reasons, after positive peer review, and due to previous usage of and familiarity with Acronis. We are able to ensure timely backups of our data across multiple machines that are easy to access, manage, and store.,Obtaining Data Recovery. The process of recovering any information from a backup is straight forward. There has yet to be any issues with any recovery we've attempted.
Setting schedules for incremental and full backup dates/times. We need to run our backups at very specific times and the ability to assign different schedules for backing up various locations is very helpful.
User-Friendly. All information is readily accessible in a way the flows nicely. Placement of different option makes sense as you go through the processes of install, setup and everyday usage/maintenance.,There are times when accessing the backup files takes an extended amount of time, as they do not always become usable quickly. It is a small complaint, as they never fail to open after a few minutes.
Being able to create backups on removable USB hard drives that are taken away for offsite storage when full could be better. You can make it happen but the process doesn't feel as smooth as the rest of the software.
It would be nice to be able to compare the contents of multiple backups at one time in order to be able to more quickly see the difference between them when searching for information changes requested by users.,9,Peace of mind. It is good to know that at any time we can have information restored for our users within minutes. Previous software needed an extended amount of time and failed often.
Data backup and recovery have been a breeze. As previously stated, we have had no issues with the process of restoring data, unlike we had with previous software.,9,Windows Server,Symantec Backup Exec,5,5,Full Backups

Making sure license are used properly among servers.,10,Yes,9,No,Yes!
We recently had an entire server crash. This was a non windows OS based server that housed a database. We have had Acronis backing up the mysql backup. Luckily we did this as we lost the mysql backups at the same time as the total server failure. It was an electrical failure so all was lost. In rebuilding we used the backup provided by Acronis to save the day.,Recovery of backups from an external drive.
Recovery of backups through a NAS system.
Setting schedules for backups for both full and incremental.
Getting notifications on a regular basis of backup start times, completion, any issues that may come up.,Initial setup takes a little time, but no more than any other backup utility that I've used in the past
I haven't had any issues with it being over bearing or cumbersome,Yes, but I don't use it,9Ethan NickAcronis Backup, the backup solution for you!2017-11-30T22:58:57.435ZCurrently, we are using Acronis to backup our VMware hosts as well as the VMs living on the hosts. When I first came on board with our company there was no cloud backup happening.,Automated backups to both cloud and local sources.
The recovery process is incredibly well implemented.
The have some very good support.,I wish there was a better way to backup the contents of a NAS, currently I have to do a "Machine" backup and then point to the NAS folder/s from there.,9,I've not had to use the recovery process yet, but I feel comfortable having my company's data in the cloud.,10,Windows Server
