I  began using Acronis Cyber Protect when a customer needed backups for Azure VMs outside of Azure. At that time, not many solutions offered this capability, and Acronis Cyber Protect stood out as an option to meet the specific requirement for third-party Azure VM backups.

We use this solution to back up our emails. It is compatible with Office and Microsoft 365. There are two models and it can be used per workload or per workstation, which gives you roughly 50 gigs of backup per work station. 

You can basically decide what you want to back up, at what time and whether you want it done on desktops or laptops. Once you make this decision, you then pay per gig. 

We have distributors that we buy Acronis through. For cloud backup, hybrid and on-prem, this is a good solution.

My initial experience with Acronis was to backup my email server's contents. This happened in 2008 when my email suddenly went down, but to my surprise, the backup didn't include the email server. However, after restoring everything, I gained confidence in the software and began using it to backup my DC servers.

Cloud and Application Business Unit Manager at Jawraa

Our customers primarily use the solution for backup purposes, focusing on gaining insights into the backup process. They seek real insights into the backups, determining whether the images are virus-influenced. The key objective is to identify clean images that can be restored, allowing for a smooth restart of production. Restoring an infected version could lead to the point where the product environment gets infected and goes down. It helps with both backup and cybersecurity.

We are a service provider and we sell the solution and help them set it up.

Acronis Backup is a software application that is used to create backups of different types of data and software, including Microsoft Azure and SQL instances. It is commonly used by businesses in various industries, such as banks, law firms, and financial institutions, to protect their enterprise applications and data, including databases and data accessed by mobile employees in the field.

The solution works best as a hybrid because of local security regulations in terms of the storage of data. A hybrid is usually the best deployment, especially in our country.

SA at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees

We use Acronis Backup to create a backup policy and schedule to create backup images. We have an incremental backup for images and file-level backups. However, we never restore, test to restore, we have not done it yet.

We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring. It is because the backups are created inside a virtual server and we want to restore it to a Hyper-V environment. We have attempted the process for approximately three weeks, and we have yet to find a solution to our problem.

We are only using Acronis Backup to create a backup plan, and the storage is within our premises. In one or two months, we will create a backup plan that will involve creating a backup from our premises to another location that is approximately 300 kilometers away. Then we will test how Acronis Backup will perform.

Our primary use case for Acronis Backup software is to back up our VMware environment. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this an 8. With our VMware environment it's very tricky to get everything backed up just like you need it. With Acronis software it was very easy to set up, the reliability has been wonderful. On a daily basis I know that the incremental backups are running properly. On the weekends the full backups are running efficiently. Any time I've had to contact support, whether it be a phone call or online chat, it's been very easy to get a hold of someone, and they work with you continually until you resolve whatever issue it is that you're having, and you feel comfortable with the resolution.
