Backup and Protect Your Windows Server Environment

Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced for Windows Server is the best-in-class solution for protecting your Windows® environment.

Powered by Acronis AnyData Technology, this solution can back up your entire Windows server in a single pass, delivering dramatically faster protection and the most flexible, reliable recovery 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 also 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 Block-level, image-based backups capture all application and operating system data in one efficient step. Unlike other backup solutions, Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced automatically skips unused data blocks to provide faster results with less 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.
	Flexible Recovery Quickly restore only what you need! Recover granular files, folders, volumes, or a complete server—all from a single image backup.
	Disaster Recovery Recover your entire Windows server in minutes—to the same location, to new, dissimilar hardware, or to a virtual server. Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced can quickly restore data locally or remotely using Linux Kernel or WinPE media, or a PXE server to start the new server. Acronis’ driver injection and SID change capabilities will get you up and running quickly on new hardware.
	Deduplication 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 unified centralized management and reporting console. Manage and report on all backup operations for all physical and virtual machines from a single dashboard.
	Multiple Backup Targets Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced supports disk, tape, and cloud locations providing multiple RTO options and full flexibility for recovery from multiple media sources and locations.
	Acronis Cloud Storage Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced includes secure, offsite cloud backup to the Acronis cloud. Simply add a subscription to your purchase to fortify your backup storage plan and double your data protection.

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.

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
