That drops to $27.75 monthly ($999) for either a three-year subscription or a perpetual license. Some pricing examples: the license cost to back up one Windows or Linux server, which in the case of the former includes support for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and SQL applications, is $41.58 monthly (about $499) for a one-year subscription. Acronis also offers “perpetual licenses” for those who’d rather purchase software the old-school “pay once and you’re done” method, though in this case the support and updates aren’t perpetual - they’re only provided for one year. The choice of how to license also has ramifications for how you use the software.Īcronis offers licenses as one-, two-, and three-year subscriptions (paid in advance, it’s important to note) that include product updates and 24/7 support for the duration of the subscription period. ![]() We don’t usually talk about a product’s pricing up front, but we will in this case because Acronis Backup 12’s price tag will vary considerably depending on how many and what type of systems you want to back up as well as how you choose license the software. (The hassle often involved in backing up probably has something to do with why many small businesses don’t always do it as comprehensively or frequently as they should.)Īcronis, a name that’s become almost synonymous with backup, bills its new Acronis Backup 12 as the “World’s Easiest and Fastest Backup Solution.” While we can’t validate such an absolute claim, we can say that Acronis Backup 12 backs up a wide variety of systems and devices, was quite easy to install and configure, and made restoring from backups a relatively simple and painless affair.Īcronis Backup 12 works with a variety of operating systems and applications, on either physical or virtual machines. Backing up small business data can take a fair amount of time and effort, so it stands to reason that the more - and more diverse - your collection of systems/devices, the more time and effort the task will require.
