Staff Writers | Jul 8, 2009
The disaster recovery solution combines data deduplication, support for virtual environments, and centralised management features.


Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is the next generation of the Acronis True Image solutions and supports virtual environments from VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xensource and Parallels.

The product includes a host-based Virtual Machine (VM) backup agent, enabling backup and restore of live VMs through VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V APIs without installing a client in each VM.

"Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is introduced as a comprehensive, feature-rich enterprise-level solution but priced for SMBs, which fits nicely in the A/NZ market where majority of the businesses are SMBs," said Bill Taylor-Mountford, general manager Acronis A/NZ (pictured).

"They can now take advantage of an enterprise-class service, an affordable price point and significant cost savings in an easy-to-use package."

Taylor-Mountford said some of his regional customers were involved in the beta testing process.

"The feedback was exceptionally positive. We are very confident our partners will have an even stronger second half of the year with this new offering," he said.

The solution can scale thousands of machines, enabling an IT administrator to design and execute a backup strategy to match the growth of a business.
