Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 simplifies and automates backup and
disaster recovery processes of workstations and servers in Windows and
Linux environments, across physical and virtual platforms. Based on patented
disk imaging and bare metal restore technologies, these products are the
next generation of Acronis® True Image. They provide medium-sized to large
organizations a simple, cost-effective solution to centrally manage all backup
and restore activities across the network.

Fast restore of OS and data to meet Recovery Time Objectives
With Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, the entire hard drive contents including
the operating system, applications and data can be fully recovered in minutes,
instead of hours or days. In addition, with the Acronis® Backup & Recovery™
10 Universal Restore option, it is easy to restore a backup image to different
hardware, including virtual machines.

Centralized management of local and remote systems
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 enables policy-based management of all backup
and restore operations from a single console anywhere on the network. In
addition, a centralized dashboard provides an overview of the configured and
running operations on all systems, enhancing control and decision making.

Enhanced support for virtual environments
Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition is a
virtualization-centric solution to backup and recover VMware, Microsoft
Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and Parallels environments. It allows agent-less,
VCB or agent-based backup and recovery of files, volumes, virtual disks and
entire virtual machines, all from the centralized management console.

Storage and network savings through data deduplication
Eliminating backup copies of the same data from multiple computers results in
substantial storage and network bandwidth cost savings. The Acronis® Backup
& Recovery™ 10 Deduplication option provides affordable file and block level
software deduplication capability for both workstations and servers, helping
organizations of all sizes to maximize use of their storage infrastructure and
save expenses.
