Improve Efficiency and Backup Times

Back up virtual machines with growing data more frequently, lowering RPOs and reducing backup storage. Windows Server 2016 support with Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) enables incremental backups of only changed blocks of data per a specific point in time.

Recover Up to 100 Times Faster

Reduce virtual machine recovery time to mere minutes with Acronis vmFlashback technology. It identifies the difference between the current VM state and its backup state to restore only changed blocks of information. This approach significantly minimizes network impact, facilitating recoveries up to 100 times faster.

Ensure Full Data Integrity

Gain full data integrity with a point-in-time application-consistent snapshot. Volume Shadow Copy Service (aka VSS, Shadow Copy, or Volume Snapshot Service) provides reliable backup, even when the applications are in use. The virtual machines remain online and functional during the snapshot and backup process, so normal operations continue.
