Questions & answers
What is application-level backup?
“General backup software creates data copies in two primary ways – either by opening a file and copying it byte-by-byte or by transferring raw data blocks from a drive/disk to external media. In both cases, general backup creates a binary copy of your data.”
Do full backups back up applications?
“Generally, full backups create at least one additional copy of all data files on a drive, machine, or server during a single backup process. The duplicated files are designated by the user (backup administrator).”
Can I recover my data from applications that I have backed up?
“In short, yes, you can. However, you may face some challenges in recovering individual files from application backup if you haven't used the proper backup tool to secure your apps.General backup software creates data copies either by opening a file and copying it byte-by-byte or by transferring raw blocks of data from a disk to external storage.”
Can I back up data to public clouds or local storage instead of the Acronis Cloud?
“Yes. Acronis Cyber Protect is designed to give you full flexibility over where your backups are stored.”
How resource intensive is the Cyber Protect agent, and can I install only the features I need?
“Acronis Cyber Protect is built to minimize impact on system performance. Backup operations run with low priority, and resource usage is optimized to avoid disruption to production workloads.”
Can I use Cyber Protect solely for backup without the anti‑malware or EDR features?
“Yes. Acronis Cyber Protect can be deployed as a backup-only solution.”
How does Acronis’ licensing and pricing work for different workloads (e.g., workstations, servers, virtual hosts and Microsoft 365 seats)?
“Licensing is workload based, with one license required per protected machine, host, or service (such as Microsoft 365). Acronis Cyber Protect is available in multiple editions, enabling you to choose the level of functionality that fits your environment.”
Does Cyber Protect automatically detect and back up new virtual machines on a hypervisor?
“Acronis Cyber Protect supports agent-based and agentless protection for virtualized environments and simplifies backup management across hypervisors. While existing virtual machines can be protected automatically, newly created VMs typically need to be assigned to a protection plan or included through policy configuration. This approach ensures administrators maintain full control over which workloads are protected and how.”
