"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"This solution is stable."

"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."

"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."

"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."

"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
