Executive Summary
Acronis
®
Backup & Recovery
™
10 is the next generation data protection and disaster recovery solution from Acronis.
It is based on the patented disk imaging technology of the award-winning Acronis
®
True Image
™
product line that
protects more than three million computers worldwide.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 enables organizations to recover entire Windows, Linux or Virtual machines in
minutes, not hours, by simplifying and standardizing the recovery process into easy-to-follow procedures. Any
IT staff can be enlisted to carry out recoveries, freeing highly-skilled IT personnel from recovery-related tasks. In
a major disaster, mass recovery can be performed concurrently with a high level of automation, avoiding mostly
manual and time-consuming processes.
To ensure high performance backup, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 captures entire disk images of a system and
saves them into disk storages such as SAN, NAS, direct attached storage, RAID, and re-writeable optical disks.
Storage devices such as tape drive and libraries are also supported. To leverage maximum cost-saving, Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 makes available a fully integrated backup data deduplication application (Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Deduplication) that can help to reduce overall storage requirements by 80-90%.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication also simplifies remote office backup. It enables source-level
deduplication for the remotely located machines so backups can be ran over the WAN using the minimum possible
bandwidth. This eliminates the need for disk or tape storage devices in the remote location, a major step in
simplifying remote office backup management. Deduplication reduces overall data storage costs significantly
enough to extend deduplication efforts to include the massive amount of data carried on workstations and laptop
computers.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 comes in seven different editions to suit the needs of small and large organizations.
Centralized management capability makes it possible to carry out all backup and recovery operations from a single
console, including tasks related to workstations, Windows servers, Linux servers or virtualized servers in VMware,
Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer or Parallels. A new monitoring dashboard is also available to provide a high-
level overview of the health of the entire backup and recovery infrastructure for operation management.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 features a new scalable architecture allowing administrators to scale from protecting
a single workstation in a home office to thousands of workstations and servers in a large enterprise. Resources
such as disk capacity and backup servers (called Storage Nodes) can be added on demand and only when needed
to handle new workload, ensuring minimum startup cost.
