Recovery & Verification

A backup that has not been tested is not a backup. Sentire deploys Acronis disaster recovery with quarterly verification testing included.

Disaster Recovery Planning

STRATEGY

Design and document a recovery plan with clear RPO and RTO targets.

  • Recovery runbooks
  • Failover procedures
  • Communication plans

Restore Testing

VERIFICATION

Quarterly restore drills to verify every backup can be recovered without errors.

  • Automated testing

FAQ

Common questions about Acronis

How is Acronis Cyber Protect different from a standard backup product?

Standard backup products copy data on a schedule and restore it on request. Acronis Cyber Protect adds active protection: it monitors backup processes in real time and blocks ransomware from encrypting backup files. It also integrates vulnerability assessment and endpoint protection, so it is not just a backup tool but a combined data protection and security platform managed from a single console.

Can Acronis back up both physical servers and virtual machines?

Yes. Acronis backs up physical Windows and Linux servers, Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines, workstations, and cloud workloads on Azure and AWS. The same Acronis Cyber Protect console manages backup policy for all these environments, which simplifies administration significantly compared to running separate backup tools per environment.

How long does it take to restore from an Acronis backup?

File and folder restores complete in minutes. Full bare-metal restores of a server from local backup typically take one to four hours depending on data volume. Acronis also supports instant recovery — starting a backed-up virtual machine directly from the backup without waiting for a full restore — which dramatically reduces recovery time for virtualised workloads.

Where is backed-up data stored?

We implement a 3-2-1 strategy: local backup to an on-site NAS or backup server, plus offsite replication to Acronis Cloud. Acronis Cloud data centres are geographically distributed with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit. We can configure which cloud region stores your data based on compliance requirements.

What happens if ransomware encrypts our systems before a backup completes?

Acronis Active Protection monitors file system activity in real time and blocks ransomware processes before they complete an encryption run. If any files are changed before the process is blocked, Acronis automatically restores them from the most recent backup copy. This is the key capability that separates Acronis from standard backup tools when ransomware is the threat.

Does Acronis back up Microsoft 365 mailboxes and SharePoint?

Yes. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud includes Microsoft 365 backup as a separate workload. It backs up Exchange Online mailboxes, OneDrive files, SharePoint sites, and Teams data. Microsoft's native recycle bin and version history are not a substitute for backup — they have limited retention windows and do not protect against accidental deletion or ransomware affecting your Microsoft 365 tenant.
