Integrated backup and AI-based protection have strengthened our cybersecurity and simplified patch management across diverse platforms
Apart from backing up your on-premises servers, Acronis Cyber Cloud allows you to back up cloud servers on Azure, AWS, and Google. It also backs up in Azure Storage, Azure Blob, and S3 bucket on AWS. You can back up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and it supports virtualization platforms such as Hyper-V, VMware, Nutanix, and Red Hat, and much more. Acronis Cyber Cloud supports a lot of platforms for backup. Acronis Cyber Cloud's API integration works fine, though I do not handle that part; my colleague handles the API integration. The ability to work with more platforms is important. My final rating for Acronis Cyber Cloud is eight.

Can automatically pull the virtual machines that we have in an environment
I like the fact that BDRSuite can connect to VMware ESXi and automatically pull the virtual machines that I have in that environment. I also like that you can choose to back up the compute to the backup server or go straight to the cloud. BDRSuite enables you to recover data instantly. When we need to recover data, I only need to start a backup job or a restore job. Depending on the speed of the server and the Internet, it should be able to download the files from the cloud and split them back up the way they were like nothing ever happened. The restore options BDRSuite provides are crucial because we use it for a lot of healthcare companies that have HIPAA requirements. BDRSuite is HIPAA compliant. We need it to be readily available and accessible in case something goes wrong. It lets you schedule backups to run every 15 minutes. I don't believe you can do it at shorter intervals because there's no way the original backups will finish in 15 minutes. It allows you to adjust the schedules. For example, if you don't want it to go during certain times, you can set that up. You can also choose between a full or incremental backup. There are settings you can adjust to make it work how you want it. Incremental backup is crucial because a full backup would increase fees or affect the local server because it would back up the entire volume every time. Instead, it does one full backup—say 12 terabytes— and adds to it in increments of 100 gigabytes, 200 gigabytes, etc. Whenever you want to add a backup job, there's a wizard that pops up telling you how to make a new backup job. It asks you what you want to name it and what you want to back up. Then, it asks you if you want to schedule it. There's an interactive display on how to do that.
