Overall Satisfaction with Acronis Backup & Recovery

We use Acronis Backup & Recovery within our managed services package. It allows us to deploy the backup software to workstations and servers in our internal and client networks. We normally setup the system to do a image backup to local storage nightly and replicate a copy of the backup to our private cloud.
  • Image workstations and servers
  • Bare metal restore works excellent.
  • Central management of all your backup endpoints.
  • Not a big fan of Acronis cloud. Have not used in a few years but had issues in the past pushing large amounts of data to it.
  • Licensing can get confusing on some of the server products.
  • Sometimes we run into VSS issues with the system.
  • Saves time and money when a computer has a disk failure. We just push the last image to the new disk and the endpoint is back up and running. No time spent reloading windows and all software.
  • Lower admin cost because of the easy to use central management
  • We use our own private cloud for backup storage so we save money by using internal storage instead of paid public storage.

Software is perfect for SMB networks. It allows admins to easily manage backups of desktops and servers.

Acronis also is great if you get infected by a crypto virus. Just roll back the computer to the last image and you are all set.
