Overview:

Complete Linux Server Backup and Data Protection

Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced for Linux Server is the state-of-the-art solution for protecting your Linux® server environment.

Powered by Acronis AnyData Technology, this product uses patented, block-level disk imaging to provide the fastest backups and most flexible, reliable recovery options available.

Now you can quickly and easily restore individual files/folders, application data, or an entire server—all from the same backup. Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced offers the flexibility of restoring your server to its original location, to entirely new, dissimilar hardware, or to a virtual machine.

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!
	Full Image Backups Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced includes block-level, image-based backups that quickly and efficiently capture consistent application and operating system data. Acronis also automatically skips unused data blocks to provide faster backups with smaller storage requirements.
	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.
	Disaster Recovery Recover your entire Linux server in minutes—to the same location, to new, dissimilar hardware, or to a virtual server. Acronis can quickly restore data locally or remotely.
	Deduplication Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced's built-in source and target variable block size data deduplication reduces the volume of backup data by up to 90%. This maximizes backup speed, puts significantly less load on your network, and reduces backup storage requirements.
	Centralized Management Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced includes a centralized management and reporting console. Manage and report on all backup operations for all physical and virtual machines, and applications from a single dashboard.
	Multiple Backup Targets Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced writes backups directly to tape, disk, and cloud locations providing multiple backup storage options and full flexibility for recovery from multiple sources and locations.

	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.
	Universal Restore In the event of hardware failure, Acronis’s Universal Restore technology allows bare-metal recovery of your entire system to the same location, to new hardware of a different make/model, or to a virtual server in minutes—without the usual complications.

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
