What it is

Acronis Cyber Protect folds backup together with cyber protection — antivirus, EDR, anti-ransomware and vulnerability management — in one console. It manages protection of servers, workstations, VMs and Microsoft 365 with fast recovery and DR.

Problems it removes

  • You would rather run backup and endpoint security from one agent than stitch two products together.
  • Recovering from ransomware needs clean backups plus active anti-ransomware, not one or the other.
  • A mixed fleet — servers, laptops, VMs, Microsoft 365 — needs one protection console.

How administrators use it

  • Deploy a single agent that handles backup, anti-malware and patching.
  • Restore whole machines to dissimilar hardware or to the cloud for disaster recovery.
  • Manage protection of workstations, servers, VMs and M365 from the web console.

Strengths & trade-offs

Strengths

  • Backup, security and patching unified in one product.
  • Flexible targets: local, cloud or hybrid.
  • Broad OS and workload coverage.

Trade-offs

  • Proprietary, with per-workload pricing.
  • The all-in-one scope is more than a pure-backup shop needs.

Common questions

Is this antivirus or backup?

Both — it integrates data protection (backup/recovery) with cyber protection (anti-malware, EDR, anti-ransomware, patching).

Can it do bare-metal recovery?

Yes, including restore to different hardware or to a cloud instance.
