• Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition

The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 (ABR10) family of software solutions allows organisations to create server and workstation backups: either for rapid restoration in the case of a disaster, or for testing and development purposes. The ABR10 software portfolio provides backup capabilities for OS, data, applications, and settings, and the ABR10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition extends this technology to Virtual Machines (VMs). Product functionality is based on Acronis' patented disk-imaging and bare-metal restore technologies which can back up an image of an entire system and settings, and enable rapid restoration of the entire system or selected files. The growth of server virtualisation has necessitated specialised backup technology to address virtualisation-specific backup challenges and Butler Group is impressed with ABR10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition's ability to address these, particularly the range of options for managing the backup process, the licensing structure, the range of virtualisation platforms supported, and the introduction of deduplication capabilities to help with the optimisation of corporate storage.
