It’s a little more expensive than some other solutions for the amount of backup space you get. But the other backup solutions don’t have this sort of integrated security. It’s hard to compare them. For example, I get five terabytes of backup with iDrive. It’s another great product. But iDrive doesn’t have any of this protection, antivirus, malware, etc. And that costs about as much as one terabyte of backup with Acronis. But it’s hard to compare because Acronis actually does full disk image backups locally. iDrive does not do that. iDrive does file backups locally, and I think image backups are done and kept in the cloud, which I’m not okay with. I want to have a local backup image. And it’s fast. The backup is really fast. Backing up with Acronis is probably faster than iDrive or anything else I’ve used in the past. So, Acronis backups are really quick. They’ve got some technology that makes incremental backups go quicker and that sort of thing. I’ve actually used Acronis products since the beginning with Acronis Backup back in 2003.
Data backup involves copying and moving data from its primary location to a secondary location from which it can later be retrieved in case the primary data storage location experiences some kind of failure or disaster.
