What is Cloud Backup and why should I use it?
Cloud Backup is an offsite backup software solution that allows you to create copies of your data from multiple devices and have it all securely stored in the cloud. Data is a critical asset for any business, and data loss, whether due to hardware failure, system crash, malware or human error, can have an extremely negative impact on operations. Powered by the latest technology from leading backup specialist Acronis, Cloud Backup ensures disaster recovery is always possible, with full control over your data and a wide range of backup customisation options.
What platforms does Cloud Backup support?
Cloud Backup supports more than 20 platforms including all major server, desktop and mobile device operating systems. Backups are available for physical servers and virtual machines running on the leading virtualisation platforms, as well as applications such as Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server, and software including Office 365 and G Suite.
How do I back up my server/device?
To create backups for a server or other device, Cloud Backup needs to establish a connection and confirm the source of your data. For this to happen, all you need to do is download the Cloud Backup agent – a lightweight piece of software – from the self-service portal and install it on the device you want to back up. Simply execute the agent and you’re ready to start making backups.
What is backup versioning?
Backup versioning is the management of multiple backup versions from different points in time. Cloud Backup versions all backup files and folders, meaning it’s always clear which backup you need to select, for example, if you experience problems and want to quickly roll back to a previous version of a file or system image.
What is an image backup?
In the context of computing, an image, or system image, is a copy of the complete state of a computer system including all data and settings. Cloud Backup lets you create image backups for your servers and other devices, enabling rapid recovery when you need them back online fast.
How does Cloud Backup protect my data from ransomware?
Cloud Backup provides proactive, AI-based ransomware protection. Using the most advanced anti-ransomware technology available, Cloud Backup protects backup data and the backup agent itself in real time, and any files infected with ransomware before an attack is stopped are automatically restored.
Does Cloud Backup compress my data?
Cloud Backup lets you decide how much compression to apply to your backups – whether you want lots, a little bit, or none at all. Make efficient use of your backup storage by customising your compression levels to suit your needs.
