8.1 Introduction to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Online
This section contains a brief overview of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online and answers questions
that may arise during evaluation and usage of this product.
8.1.1 What is Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online?
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online is a service that enables you to back up data to Acronis Online
Backup Storage. To use this service, you need to buy a subscription that determines the amount of
storage space reserved for your backups (storage quota) and how long the online service will be
available to you.
A separate subscription is required for each physical machine you are going to back up. The server or
workstation subscription that you buy will depend on the Windows operating system that the
machine is running. Other operating systems are not supported by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Online.
Virtual machines hosted on a VMware ESX(i) or Microsoft Hyper-V host can be backed up using a
single subscription for virtual machines.
Example: A 250 GB/ 1 year workstation subscription means that you can back up data from a
machine running a non-server Windows operating system for a period of 1 year. The backups can
occupy no more than 250 GB.
8.1.2

What data can I back up and recover?

You can back up files, volumes, disks, or the entire physical machine as often as you wish. Unlike
most online backup solutions, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online enables bare metal recovery
directly from the online storage. Files can be recovered from disk-level backups as well as from file-
level backups.
For information about backing up virtual machines see "How to back up virtual machines to the
online storage? (p. 379)"
