Illustrative Case Study

Based on realistic usage patterns and typical results reported by users — not a verified customer story. Numbers are illustrative.

✗

The Problem

A 50-person company used separate tools for backup (Backblaze) and antivirus (Norton). Managing two agents on 50 endpoints created conflicts, and the IT admin spent 8 hours weekly on maintenance.

→

The Solution

Consolidated to Acronis Cyber Protect — one agent handling both backup and security. Automated backup verification and centralized management dashboard.

✓

The Result

IT maintenance dropped from 8 to 2 hours weekly. After a ransomware attempt, recovered 100% of affected files from verified backups in 45 minutes.

💡 ROI Estimate: Tool costs $350/mo (50 workstations). Saves 6 hrs/wk IT time at $60/hr = $1,440/mo + eliminated separate antivirus cost. ROI: 5x.

— Frequently asked questions about Acronis Cyber Protect

How does Acronis compare to Backblaze?+
Different scope. Backblaze is pure cloud backup — simple, cheap, reliable. Acronis adds cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and endpoint management on top of backup. More powerful but more complex and expensive.
Does Acronis work for cloud workloads?+
Yes. Acronis protects physical servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and SaaS data (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace).
Is Acronis overkill for small businesses?+
Not necessarily. If you currently pay for separate backup and antivirus tools, Acronis can actually save money by replacing both. The 30-day trial lets you test before committing.
