Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server

Based on Acronis’ patented disk imaging and bare metal restore technologies, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server is the next generation of the Acronis True Image disaster recovery family for physical and virtual environments. It simplifies and automates backup and restore processes across Windows and Linux environments, and remotely monitors and manages geographically distributed servers and workstations. With Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server, the operating system, applications and all data can be recovered in minutes, instead of hours or days.

Engineered for enterprises of all sizes, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server scales to thousands of machines. It provides organizations with advanced data backup and system recovery capabilities such as: data deduplication, enhanced security, operations dashboard, policy-based management, among others.

Organizations can leverage Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server’s functional power and exceptional ease of use to simplify their backup and recovery processes while improving their ability to meet challenging Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs). In addition, Acronis offers several options that can be used to further enhance the functionality of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10:

• Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication option enhances the benefits of disk-to-disk server backup by reducing the amount of redundant data that is backed up, saving on storage costs and optimizing storage capacity.
• Additionally, with the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore option, administrators can quickly automate the recovery process, even when recovering to dissimilar hardware or virtual machines.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server works with both physical and virtual machines using an agent-based approach. For additional ways to backup and restore virtual hosts, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition  offers a more comprehensive, agent-less and host based approach to server backup for both a host and multiple virtual machines.

• Remote restore - Perform remote restores of your networked machines.
• Restore to dissimilar hardware-optional - With Acronis Universal Restore, migrate or restore the whole system to dissimilar hardware or a virtual machine.

Virtualization support

• Converting image backups to virtual machine formats  - Convert backup images to virtual machine formats compatible with VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and Parallels environments.
• Backup your server including virtual machines - In addition to backing up your server, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server allows Agents to be installed on up to four virtual machines on the same host server.
• Manage virtual machines protection with policies - Centrally managed protection of virtual machines, similar to the way you manage protection of physical machines, including grouping and policy-based.

Backup management

• Templates for backup rotation schemes - Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 has a set of pre-defined industry-standard schemes like Grandfather-Father-Son or Tower-of-Hanoi.
• Pre/post commands - Define pre/post backup and data capture commands to integrate Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 with other applications or to temporarily stop some.
• Event-based backup - Create backups triggered by various conditions — a user logs on, a computer shuts down, or others.
• Conditions for backup - Configure backup operations to wait until specified conditions are met like a pre-defined time interval or a user logs off.
• Customizable backup scheme - Configure specific events and conditions for each task.

Centralized management

• Grouping machines into static or dynamic groups - Put machines into nested groups, manually or by other criteria such as OS, IP range, or membership in an Active Directory.
• Policy-based management - Apply backup policies to a machine or a group of machines.
• Wake-on-LAN support - If a machine is off when a backup is scheduled to start, the machine can be powered on automatically with Wake-on-LAN functionality.
• Distributing backups within time interval - Avoid overloading networks by distributing backup activities within an allowed time window. Automatically shift task start times on each machine.

Reporting and monitoring

• Centralized dashboard - Operational overview of all configured machines on a single screen.
• Shipping log events into centralized log - See events from all managed machines in the Acronis Management Server log, even if the event is from a machine that is not available.

Backup administration

• Automated deletion of outdated backups - Specify rules to automatically delete backups that are no longer needed.
• Backup validation and consolidation by Acronis Storage Node - Validation and consolidation can be performed by Acronis Storage Node to offload these resource-intensive operations from the production machine.
• Consolidating incremental or differential backups - Consolidate incremental and differential backups to save space.

Deployment and upgrade options

• Remote installation and configuration - Remotely install clients and updates on your networked machines.
• No reboot - No reboot required to complete installation.

User interface

• Command line with scripting support - Execute tasks and create backups from a command-line interface.

Acronis Universal Restore Add-On

What happens when a system’s hardware fails or needs to be retired? How do you move the valuable applications and data to a new system or hardware after disaster strikes? How do you quickly restore a system after the hardware has changed?

Acronis solves this common issue with Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore, a fully integrated module that restores servers or workstations to different hardware or to a virtual machine, providing highly flexible disaster recovery and migration options.

The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore module prepares you for even the most unforeseen events without requiring administrators to purchase and maintain identical spare machines.

Acronis Deduplication Add On

Deduplication option allows seamless integration of data deduplication in the backup process. Available as an option with any of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 advanced products, it is integrated for ease of use and will reduce storage costs and network bandwidth utilisation. Priced for SMB, Acronis has brought this cost saving technology to organisations that, until now, could not afford the significant implementation investment required.

The resulting benefits to all size organisations are:

• Reduction of data up to 90% with deduplication and compression, saving storage space
• Elimination of data deduplication-specific hardware saving capital expense
• Reduction of network traffic resulting in higher communications efficiencies
