Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced for Citrix XenServer
Full backup and recovery for your Citrix® XenServer® environment

Features:

	Universal Restore Included with all Acronis Cyber Backup solutions, this unique data recovery technology gives you the convenient ability to instantly restore backups to any machine, regardless of platform. Now you can restore files, configurations, applications, or an entire system to the same hardware, to different hardware, or to a virtual server—all with a few simple clicks!
	Specialized XenServer Backup Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced integrates seamlessly with XenServer, allowing you to manage backups from within your XenServer environment. Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced also uses block-level incremental backups to reduce the volume of data, and to ensure that your VM backups are always successful and up-to-date.
	Recover any server as a VM Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced makes it easy for you to quickly recover any physical or virtual server backup as a VM, or simply clone a backup as a VM for development/testing.
	Direct-To-Tape Backups Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced lets you back up directly to tape drives, autoloaders and libraries. You can also copy or stage your backups to up to 4 additional backup copies to multiple locations (disk, tape, or cloud), thereby maximizing your recovery options and reliability.
	Server Migration Easily migrate a server between any physical and virtual platform with Acronis’ proprietary Unified Backup Format. This technology lets your recover any backup to any server in any location.
	Disaster Recovery In the event of a hardware failure or natural disaster, Acronis’ patented disk imaging approach ensures the fastest bare-metal restore! Recover an entire server in minutes, minimizing expensive downtime.
	Application Support In addition to protecting your VMs, Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced also includes application-specific support of Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Active Directory data. This ensures data consistency and easy, granular recovery of individual items (such as files, emails, and documents).

Direct Performance Management

To ensure optimal VM performance during backups, Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced for Citrix XenServer lets you control your environment by balancing VM backups across your XenServer environment. Acronis also provides bandwidth and disk-write speed throttling to ensure good system performance during backup.

Deduplication

Built-in block level data deduplication can be run on either the source or target side, minimizing data movement. This helps reduce the cost of additional storage and minimizes network loads.

Modular Architecture

Acronis’ flexible modular architecture allows you to add more Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced products to your core solution at any time. Start with your immediate needs, then, as your business grows, simply plug in additional products to protect any new servers or workstations—without having to install a whole new backup environment!

Efficient Incremental Backups

Incremental backups identify only the changes made since the last backup, significantly reducing backup time and any impact on network bandwidth or backup storage.

Centralized Management/Reporting

All Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced suite products are supported by a centralized management and reporting console. Manage and report on all backup operations for all physical and virtual machines from a single dashboard.

AnyData Technology:

Acronis AnyData technology provides advanced backup and recovery capabilities specifically engineered to meet the needs of small and medium IT environments.  Acronis’ disk image backup technology enables a single-pass backup that captures data at the block level, is smart enough to eliminate unused blocks, and can recover individual files & folders, application data, or an entire server in minutes.  There is no need to run multiple backups to support various recovery capabilities with Acronis.

Automatically move backups between locations for varied retention time or long-term archival storage. Chose cloud-based Backup-as-a-Service solutions and let local experts manage your data protection. Same industry leading technology, delivered the way you want it - cloud, hybrid or on-premise.
	Room to Grow AnyData technology has little overhead when you are not using centralized management or using it just for a few machines, but could be scaled up efficiently to support thousands of servers and provides you with flexibility of adding new functionality at any time.

Active Restore

Tracks operating system I/O requests and restores blocks when the OS needs them, continuing to restore other blocks in the background. This dramatically saves time and allows booting a machine and starting applications long before a restore is complete.

Flexible Any-to-Any Migration

The combination of unified backup format, Acronis Universal Restore, and incremental backup of live machines makes it very easy to migrate servers between any physical, virtual and cloud platforms and any locations, local or remote.

Compression and deduplication

Saves time, space and network bandwidth for any backup

Universal Restore

Bare-metal restore enables recovering an entire server in minutes, either to the same or dissimilar hardware or virtual server. If the new hardware is different, Acronis injects the new drivers required to support the new hardware.

Converting any system backups to any VM Disk format

Effectively enabling zero-time VM recovery, you will just need to start the VM to recover your physical, virtual or cloud system

Encryption

High-grade encryption (AES-256) is available as option to protect any data and any communication channel from unwanted attention
