Release date: April 8, 2019
Overview
With this update, the Acronis flagship cloud product offers enhancements and addresses the issues found in the previous releases.
What's new
Overall
- Acronis Cyber Cloud
Acronis Data Cloud has been renamed to Acronis Cyber Cloud to reinforce the focus on the five vectors of cyber protection – data safety, accessibility, privacy, security, and authenticity (SAPAS).
Backup service
- G Suite backup
An easy to use, efficient, and secure cloud-to-cloud G Suite backup for Gmail, Drive, Contacts, and Calendar.
- Protect G Suite data from threats: defend your G Suite data from accidental deletion, retention policy gaps, and cyber threats.
- Ensure access to data, avoid downtime: drill down through backups quickly to recover individual files, emails, or other G Suite items in mere seconds.
- Stay compliant, avoid penalties: comply with legal or business requirements with secure off-site cloud storage and unlimited data retention.
- Cryptomining protection
Acronis Active Protection now detects potential cryptomining malware on endpoints and stops it, preserving resources and network traffic. Potentially unwanted software can also be blacklisted, preventing cyber attacks in advance.
