Digitally stored information is a valuable asset. Economic existence or personal success often depends on data stored on hard drives. Unfortunately, it is often forgotten that hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media do not last forever and are always threatened by external factors. Unpredictable power outages, voltage spikes, or viruses can damage storage media and destroy stored information. Acronis Backup offers more data security and protection against such problems. This software solution allows businesses and households to create automated backups and restore them as needed.
Acronis Protects Against Numerous Threats
Regular backup copies protect against annoying data loss. Software like Acronis takes on this task with adjustable and automated backup plans. You can select specific files and folders such as documents, photos, videos, drafts, emails, and other important information or backup the entire storage media. The extensive setting options of the software are particularly a boon for companies. Companies are legally required to store electronic correspondence and invoices in a revision-proof manner. If the hard drive on which such information has been stored fails, all data is likely to be lost. This, in turn, means an illegality, which can end with high fines. However, if a backup was created beforehand with Acronis, the data can be easily restored from the backup copy. The same applies if data is destroyed by a virus or made inaccessible by ransomware. Not to be underestimated is also the weakest link in any security concept: the human. Sometimes files are overwritten or deleted by mistake. In these cases, a backup copy pays off – regardless of whether the computer is used by private individuals or as part of a company.

How Acronis Data Backup Works
Acronis Data Backup offers tailor-made backup plans and smooth restoration. After installation, you have to choose which data should be backed up. Once files, folders, partitions, or complete data carriers have been selected, a target drive is selected. For the backup to serve its purpose, it must be stored on a different data carrier than the source drive. In addition to selecting local data carriers such as USB hard drives, network drives, FTP, or cloud services are also a storage option. Acronis also offers encryption. Once the target drive has been determined, an automated backup plan can be created. This way, it is defined how often backups take place. An intelligent automatic system can also perform backups when the computer is not being used, which saves resources.
The more often a backup is carried out, the more up-to-date the data status is. To avoid having to back up already backed up, unchanged data over and over again, Acronis offers two additional options besides full data backup. A full backup is always necessary as the first backup. Here all selected data are copied to the target data carrier. If such a complete backup is already available, two other types of backup can be carried out to save storage space and time. If you choose a differential backup, it builds on the status of the full data backup and only copies new or changed data. For this reason, it is also faster than a complete backup. Another option is incremental backups. These also based on the full backup and only include new or changed data. But the second incremental backup and further backups of this type no longer build on the complete backup, but compare the status with the last incremental copy. This saves resources, but older data can only be restored taking into account the increments. If a file is changed multiple times and taken into account in an incremental backup, the original version probably cannot be restored.
