Features

Acronis Cloud Storage
Acronis Cyber Backup provides direct access to secure, offsite cloud backup in the Acronis cloud. Simply add an Acronis Cloud Storage subscription to your purchase to fortify your backup storage plan and enhance your data protection.

Cloud and Local Web Console
Use the innovative and intuitive web console that you can provision on-premises or use right away in the Acronis Cloud. Accessible from any device — even your tablet — the console will reduce your backup efforts to a bare minimum.

Microsoft Essentials Applications Protection
Built-in application-aware, single-pass backup protects Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Active Directory. You can then restore individual emails, folders, documents, databases, or entire systems.

Acronis Universal Restore
Restore backups rapidly to any machine — physical, virtual, or the cloud — with just a few simple clicks using Acronis’ unique system-recovery technology.

Physical, Virtual, Cloud, Applications, Mobile
Acronis Cyber Backup 12 is the only backup solution that protects your physical Windows® and Linux® servers; virtual Microsoft Hyper-V® and VMware vSphere®; cloud Microsoft Azure VMs and Amazon® EC2 instances; Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server®, SharePoint, and Active Directory applications; Windows PCs, Macs, and soon — iPads, iPhones, and Android devices.

Bare-Metal Recovery
Disk-imaging technology allows you to create an exact replica of your system, configuration, and application data in one step. You can then restore the replica to a new drive, the same hardware, or dissimilar hardware.

Multiple Destinations
Store backup copies in multiple locations for flexible, reliable disaster recovery options. Includes support for local disks, networked storage, and Acronis Cloud Storage.

System Performance
Network bandwidth and disk-write speed throttling allows you to control the impact of running backups during production hours.

Compression
Built-in compression significantly reduces network usage and storage requirements.

Backup Operations Scheduling
Backups can be automated based on simple or custom schedules, ensuring you achieve your target recovery point objectives (RPOs).

Backup Validation
Automatic validation of manual or scheduled backups ensures that your system and user data are recoverable.

Incremental and Differential Backups
Incremental and differential backups identify only the changes made since the last backup, significantly reducing backup time, network usage, and storage requirements.

Encrypted Storage
Encrypt your stored backups with industry-standard, in-flight and at-rest 256-bit AES encryption.

Acronis vmFlashBack
When you need to roll back your Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vSphere VM, Acronis Cyber Backup 12 leverages the power of changed block tracking (CBT) technology to restore only the data you changed since the last full backup. This will reduce recovery times and let you set aggressive recovery time objectives (RTOs).

Backup Replication and Staging
Once completed, backups are automatically replicated between various storage locations (including the Acronis Cloud). Staging automatically moves data to new storage when the retention period for the current storage expires.
