A medium sized company has recently experienced a cyber attack. They have been able to restore their IT thanks to externalized back-ups, but it took 3 weeks to restore all the users' services. After the crisis, the CIO now thinks they need a DRP in order to improve their preparation to cyber risks. It is time to talk with him about DRP preparation and to meet Acronis Cyber Protect!

OT backup software.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Acronis Cyber Protect to back up computers and servers within our production environment. We sometimes restore the entire computer or server, including files and folders. We back up both physical and virtual machines.

Pros

  • Easy to install and setup.
  • Easy to restore from the management console.
  • Large storage savings when using deduplication.
  • Works on XP.

Cons

  • Search function for restore points on boot media.
  • After upgrading to a newer build, some fixed issues may reappear.
  • Hard to cancel jobs, but it looks like version 16 is better on that. We have run version 16 for only a month.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a very good product for backing up and restoring computers and servers. Both physical and virtual. Useful with many OS. We have also tested the patch management, but we found an issue in a widget that we thought was important to fix before using it.

Acronis Backup Review

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis to back up our servers. It allows us to back up a variety of items including data files, SQL and Exchange. The backups can be scheduled for rotations and you can back up to multiple different types of sources.

Pros

  • Backs up different data types.
  • Backs up to multiple sources including tapes, external drives other servers.
  • Easy to use interface.

Cons

  • Support staff does not always have answers and sometimes has to escalate issues.
  • A better way to integrate yearly subscriptions into the contract.
  • Better notifications of backup alerts.

Likelihood to Recommend

Acronis is well suited for a company that has at least one server to back up. The program will work with a wide variety of operating systems including Server 2012, 2016 and 2019. This program will also allow you to backup multiple servers from one host device. It will also works with Linux OS.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis backup to image our work PCs and hard drives of our clients. We use it primarily to image existing hard drives to a new larger traditional hard drive or a smaller SSD hard drive.

Pros

  • Image failing hard drives
  • Move existing hard drives to new SSD
  • Local backup of existing workstations

Cons

  • The UI can be hard to navigate for new users
  • Acronis sometimes does not show progress during a clone so it's hard to tell the status

Likelihood to Recommend

A shop needing to clone hard drives in an efficient way to clone hard drives.

Acronis Backup 12.5 - Our Story

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We adopted Acronis Backup V12.5 when we upgraded our VMWare environment. We needed a solution to backup all of the VMs and then replicate the image to an off-site location. It is managed by the IT department and we hope to replace the Symantec BackupExec system that is/was being used.

Pros

  • You can administer all of your backups from a single browser-based GUI. No matter what the instance of Acronis is - local agent install on a physical device .... a VM on a host or even an Apple device. Alerts can be set for errors or warnings for admins to act upon if necessary.
  • Restores can be undertaken in a number of ways which is really useful. You can restore a whole VM to the same host or a new one. You can convert physical machines to a VM and a very useful feature is the ability to dive into the backup file and pluck individual files and thus restore single files quickly - good for file servers etc.
  • One of the requirements was to have the ability to replicate the backup files to an off-site location - This can be set up easily within the backup plan eliminating the need (for us at least) for tape-based solutions.

Cons

  • Stability - Although we have seen improvements in the recent later releases, we did experience stability issues in the not too distant past.
  • We have seen regular warning messages whilst attempting VM backups - "An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine".
  • Upon contacting Acronis support - we were told this is a VMware issue...not much help. The resolution? Install the Acronis agent on the VM locally.
  • This creates a non-standard rollout across your estate. I do not know why this happens to one VM over another but it would be good to get this resolved.
  • We have a Linux appliance based Acronis solution. We have needed to contact Acronis support on a number of occasions for some support and the Acronis 1st level support teams are very much Windows based. They do not have much experience on the Linux appliance version of their system.
  • If you do go down the Linux platform with your Acronis - make sure you have sufficient in house Linux skills to maintain and perform upgrades.

Likelihood to Recommend

Especially well suited to a VMware environment - a single cost-effective VM host license covers all of the VMs on that host without the need to install local agents onto each machine. This was a massive positive for us and the Symantec system we were currently using.

Acronis Backup Advance

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Acronis Backup is being used in our department to back up the main servers in our infrastructure to onsite and offsite backup as part of our DR solution. The solution was chosen due to its entire image backup solution which makes it easy to recover from file level to entire server restoration.

Pros

  • Simple Backup Plan setup
  • Easy restoration
  • High Compression level
  • Dashboard that clearly provides necessary information

Cons

  • Provide extract of data from the cloud instead of transmitting through internet during data recovery (DR)

Likelihood to Recommend

Acronis backup has perfect restoration across hardware where the success rate is so high. We had successfully migrated our database server using acronis backup advance with their universal restore function which allowed us to bypass the reconfiguration process. Upon a complete restore, the database server is up and running without further configuration.

Acronis Backup, the backup solution for you!

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we are using Acronis to backup our VMware hosts as well as the VMs living on the hosts. When I first came on board with our company there was no cloud backup happening.

Pros

  • Automated backups to both cloud and local sources.
  • The recovery process is incredibly well implemented.
  • The have some very good support.

Cons

  • I wish there was a better way to backup the contents of a NAS, currently I have to do a "Machine" backup and then point to the NAS folder/s from there.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a well-rounded software package for backing up virtual machines, I've not used it for physical machines yet but I'd bet it works just as well. I would however like improvements to be made in the backup process of NAS folders.

Acronis is great for disaster recovery

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Acronis makes the backup and recovery process a breeze supporting restore to dissimilar hardware for emergency repairs when the original server is not available. This is an excellent tool not only for servers where it is instrumental for disaster recovery but also on workstations where it helps keep us up and running as needed. Few tools are easier to use for backups.

Pros

  • The ability to make complete backups quickly.
  • The ability to restore to dissimilar hardware for emergency recovery.
  • It works with both servers and workstations.
  • Great for disaster recovery especially in a small business.

Cons

  • Restoring to dissimilar hardware sometimes has quirks if you need additional drivers. It would be nice if you could attach the needed drivers to the backup when restoring.
  • Would be nice if they could find a way to make a complete offline backup of the mobile devices so you can restore a device to the state is was when when the backup occurred including the operating system.
  • Everything we already need is supported.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for Windows servers and workstations and also good for Linux when using external boot media. It would be nice to have better support for mobile devices and capturing their exact state including the OS that is installed at the time.
