£34 is a lot to pay for a local-only backup suite.
If you’re looking for a catch, it’s the price. Uniquely among its rivals, Acronis also lets you choose which locale you want your data to be stored in: the company’s US data centre is the default, but we switched this to Germany, and you can also choose sites in France, Japan, Singapore or Australia. The password-protection option remains, meanwhile, with all encryption performed locally so your data is only ever transmitted and stored in protected form. Compression and scheme options are preconfigured for off-site backups – which makes perfect sense – and to make the most of your cloud storage allowance you can specify how many old versions of files to retain, and how long they should be kept before being purged. Acronis Cloud appears in the application just like any other target device, and while you can’t set a single job to back up to both local and remote destinations, it takes mere moments to clone a local backup job and point it to the cloud instead.ĭig into the settings and you’ll spot a few differences between local and cloud tasks. It’s also impressive how elegantly cloud support is integrated into the mix.
