"Data is the lifeline of today's digital businesses - without it your company will not survive," said Serguei Beloussov, Co-Founder and CEO at Acronis. "With Acronis Backup 12, businesses get the complete protection required in this new digital world with the ability to control their data no matter where it resides combined with the power to get it back faster than ever before in the event of a loss or an outside attack."

Addressing Today's Expanding Need for Complete Data Protection 

Legacy backup solutions do not provide adequate protection due to the increasingly complex IT infrastructures in use today with multiple physical systems, virtual environments, cloud workloads, and more mobile devices. Companies also face greater risks and vulnerabilities related to external threats like Ransomware, which has seen a 400% increase in mobile device attacks since 2014.[1]

As a result, 'improving data backup and recovery consistently ranks among the top IT priorities for organizations of all sizes, year over year,' according to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).

Acronis Backup 12 Gives IT Managers Complete Control of Data 

Acronis Backup 12 is the only solution that gives businesses complete control over the location of their data, systems, and backups, including best-in-class capabilities for protecting virtual environments.

In the event of data loss, Acronis Backup 12 provides businesses with a range of recovery options, including file, emai, and database recovery; system recovery, including bare-metal recovery, active restore, instant restore, and vmFlashBack; cloud disaster recovery; and physical data shipment.
