Salient Features of Acronis Backup and Recovery 12.5 Server for Windows
- The Acronis Backup and Recovery 12.5 package supports FAT16/ 32, ReiserFS3, XFS, JFS, NTFS, Ext2/ Ext3/ Ext4 and other major file systems as well as MBR, GPT, UEFI and BIOS; it thus ensures that the old server is compatible with the new one.
- It makes the recovery process smooth, consistent and fast for Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS)-aware application servers such as Oracle, Microsoft (MS) Exchange Server, MS SQL Server, MS Active Directory and MS SharePoint.
- The imaging technology is advanced enough to identify unnecessary files and unused blocks while taking backup. It also skips custom files and folders as specified by the user, thereby saving storage space required for the backup files.
- Backup can be taken of an entire system, including data, applications and the operating system. It is also possible to carry out incremental backups at regular intervals; this will only include the changes made after the last backup.
- Backup can be scheduled with automation retention. Staging of backups is possible between multiple locations.
- The backup process uses compression and 256-bit AES encryption techniques for improved data security of backup images.
- Individual files and application data can be recovered from the disk-image backup. This is useful for protecting data on shared networks and recovering certain files or folders that were corrupted or underwent deletion by mistake.
- It includes an automatic generation of a Disaster Recovery Plan every time a backup is taken; this document is detailed step-wise so that it can be executed even in the absence of an IT administrator.
