Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 helps organizations of all sizes address disaster recovery and data protection needs across their physical, virtual and cloud environments using just one solution. Affordable and easy- to-use from anywhere on the network, it offers high-end features and the fastest backup and recovery times for entire systems, applications and files.
At the heart of the product is a disk-imaging engine that provides a unified platform upon which all backup and data protection processes take place. This unified platform is what enables Acronis to deliver a single, fully integrated experience for backup, data protection and disaster recovery that no other vendor can match.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server SBS Edition was developed for Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) environments. It helps small businesses recover from disasters and system failures in minutes, instead of hours or days. Based on Acronis’ patented disk imaging and bare-metal restore technologies, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server SBS Edition is the next generation of the Acronis True Image server backup disaster recovery product line for physical and virtual server environments.
Small businesses typically have limited IT resources and smaller staffs than large enterprises, but with Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server SBS Edition, they have full access to the same powerful server backup and recovery tools found in larger organizations. The user-friendly interface and simplified workflow make it easier to set up a highly professional server backup program and enable users to recover files, folders, and servers without technical assistance. This reduces the need to keep highly-trained staff onsite at all times.
The Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Universal Restore option is included with Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server SBS Edition. With this, administrators can quickly recover a server to dissimilar hardware or virtual machine to maximize recovery flexibility and minimizing business disruption.
With Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server SBS Edition, the benefits of disk-to-disk backup are enhanced by the cost-saving benefits of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Deduplication option. Save storage costs and network bandwidth by reducing the amount of redundant data being backed up.
