Acronis, a provider of backup and recovery solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today launched Acronis Backup and Security 2011, an updated solution to safeguard critical data and systems from both internal and external threats.
Acronis Backup and Security 2011 provides comprehensive information protection that combines backup and recovery with Internet security, delivering a single alternative to existing point solutions.
This combination of backup and security technologies allows users to back up systems locally for fast recovery of both data and their entire PC, protecting them against user error, disk failures and system failures, and to implement industry-leading firewall, anti-virus, parental controls and other security protections.
Acronis Backup and Security 2011 also provides online backup — an additional layer of protection with remote location data protection in case of theft or physical disaster.
Upgrades include: integration with Windows 7, a new user interface and support for USB 3.0 standards.
The Acronis backup and security product family includes two security packages to give users a choice of protection options:
Acronis Backup and Security 2011 offers local backup and disaster recovery, and online data backup (5 GB available), along with full-featured Internet security. A one-year subscription costs $69.99.
Acronis Backup and Security 2011 Premium, extends the online data backup capabilities to 250 GB on top of the other powerful security and backup benefits. A one-year subscription for the premium option costs $89.99.
These software products offer one-year protection for up to three home PCs, and can be renewed with an annual subscription service.
