acronis backup e recovery 11 deduplication for virtual edition
The Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 11 Deduplication option offers you affordable block-level software deduplication capability for your workstations and servers, helping you maximize the use of your storage infrastructure while saving costs and increasing capacity.
With Acronis deduplication, cut data-storage requirements up to 90% by eliminating replicas of the same file or block on either the source or target. If data already exists on the storage node, then only a link is created to associate the data with the backup client.
Both file and disk backups can benefit from deduplication, including compatibility with bare-metal recovery and recovery to dissimilar hardware with Acronis® Universal Restore™.
The Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Deduplication module is fully integrated with all versions of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and is enabled by the Storage Node.
Save costs and resources
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Deduplication brings storage-efficient backup and recovery to organizations of all sizes, helping you reduce costs in four ways:
- Priced per machine, rather than by storage capacity or number of CPUs
- Reduces the volume of disk storage needed for backups
- Increases the number of backups you can save within existing data storage
- Frees network data-transmission bandwidth and optimizes data-transfer speeds
Key benefits
- Lower overall cost of storage
By eliminating redundant data backup, you can save on storage space and ultimately floor space and operation costs by managing fewer disks.
- Promotes a "greener" IT operations
Deduplicated data is more environmentally efficient because it reduces the amount of electricity consumed and equipment needed to perform backups.
- Faster recoveries
By storing more backups on a local disk, instead of slow tapes or other media, you benefit from faster recovery times as well as greater cost-saving potential.
- Simpler compliance
Because government and corporate requirements generate massive amounts of data, deduplication reduces the cost of maintaining it and therefore helps you achieve compliance more efficiently.
- Rapid return on investment
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Deduplication pays for itself quickly while providing you with protection, availability and peace of mind.
Key features
- Fully integrated with Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 11
Because the deduplication functionality with backup for servers and workstations is already integrated into the solution, a machine failure won’t force you or your administrator to carry out a time-consuming rebuild before regaining access to deduplicated data. Acronis integration gives you full recovery in minutes rather than hours or days. Compare that with offerings from other vendors whose deduplication products are incompatible with their disaster recovery solutions and can result in a system failure that makes deduplicated files inaccessible for hours, or even days.
- Multi-type backups
Deduplication can be applied to both disk and file backups, including full, incremental or differential.
- Flexible costs
Some companies price their deduplication products based on the amount of data that is deduplicated, making it difficult to gauge the total cost of ownership. Pricing for Acronis® Backup & Recovery™ 11 Deduplication is per protected machine, offering a flexible cost adapted to both large and small organizations.
- Seamless hardware compatibility
As a software-only solution, Acronis works with generally available storage hardware, so it bypasses the need for costly proprietary hardware.
- Easy to use
Acronis deduplication functions are carefully designed to make operation simple. Activating them is as easy as ticking a checkbox in the vault configuration.
- Highly secure
Stored deduplicated data needs special protection so it can’t be compromised. Acronis stores deduplication components separately, with special safeguards to prevent direct deletions of multi-instance data. You can also encrypt deduplicated data and limit vault access only to those with passwords.
- Source or target deduplication
Choose where the deduplication process is done: at either the source machine or Storage Node.
