Acronis Backup Service is very easy to implement into the business IT operation. After setting up the account in the management console (see screenshot below) you only need to install a lightweight client on PCs and servers you want to protect. All clients will be shown in the management console and you can immediately start adding local and cloud backup tasks on one or more machines. It’s that simple!

• Create groups and backup accounts to easily scale the backup service for the business
• Keep track of the protection strategy and create policies for every office, department or project
