The costs can quickly add up – backing up everything in Gmail, Google Drive, Google Contacts and Google Calendar will set you back $199.99 or £139 per year for five users. You'll then have to pay extra for multiple users, and for extra services like G Suite and Microsoft 365 coverage, as well as server backups.
#ACRONIS BACKUP REVIEW WINDOWS#
Pricing starts from $99 or £65 a year, which gets you 1TB of space in the cloud, and coverage of a single Windows or macOS machine, physical or virtual. The restore processes are well set up to recover after malware attacks or network security breaches, giving you extra peace of mind that you're not going to suddenly lose everything just because your business is targeted by hackers. However, Acronis Cyber Protect’s estimation of the time remaining till completion was far more accurate than the wildly fluctuating estimates displayed by Paragon. In terms of protection against malware, hacks, and ransomware, the backup tools take a proactive stance, watching out for suspicious patterns and data edits on your behalf. A backup of a test drive of around 15 GB took just over 6 minutes with Acronis Cyber Protect, a tad slower than the 5 minutes taken by Paragon’s Suite. On the restore side, there's an Acronis Notary feature that authenticates restored data using blockchain technology. One area where Acronis Cyber Backup security undoubtedly scores highly is with the security of its backups – everything is encrypted using the AES-256 encryption standard, even down to the metadata.

#ACRONIS BACKUP REVIEW SOFTWARE#
Managing what files and being backed up and when is straightforward enough, though it took us a while to figure out where all the features were located (and the software installation seemed to take an inordinate amount of time too). Much of your data management will be done through a web browser, even if you're backing up a local Windows or macOS machine rather than something like G Suite.
#ACRONIS BACKUP REVIEW HOW TO#
Everything is clean and well laid out at least, even if it's not always obvious how to go about doing something. The online and mobile clients are going to seem cumbersome and overly complex to people used to the likes of Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud, but from a business and IT manager perspective they hit most of the marks that they need to hit.
The Acronis Cyber Backup interface is made up of various web portals, through which you can monitor what you’ve secured, how much space it occupies in the cloud, what schedules your backups are running on, which files, folders and users are included, where your restore options are, and so on.
