28. 03 Staging to the Cloud
ABR11.5 Advanced Platform adds cloud storage support to staging and
replication allowing copying or moving of backups to the cloud automatically
1st step: 2nd step:
Backup locally Copy to Cloud
Requires Acronis Online subscription purchased and activated for the machine
to be backed up
Staging and replication to the cloud can be scheduled during non-business
hours to lower impact on network utilization
Initial seeding is recommended for large sized backups before using incremental
backups to transfer smaller backup sizes subsequently to the cloud
Authorized Use Only – Acronis Academy 28
29. 03 File Restore From Tape
ABR11.5 Advanced Platform supports restoring of files from disk/volume backup
residing on Tape
Restore: Backup on HDD Backup on Tape
Files from file backup Yes Yes
Files from disk/partition backup Yes New in ABR11.5
When backing up to tape, ABR11.5 creates supplementary files on the local disk
of the machine with the tape device attached containing information on the
location of files on the tape.
This allows searching for and recovery of files from disk/volume backups stored
on tapes.
Authorized Use Only – Acronis Academy 29

31. 03 CBT for VMware
ABR11.5 for will now use CBT to track changes of disk sectors that a VM uses
and greatly speeds up incremental backups of VMs running on VMware vSphere
How it was How it will be
Standard way: CBT way:
Read every block of data and compare with Track changes of disk sectors in real-time
what it was and create the list of changes for the next
backup
Fast Incremental way:
Compare file attributes (causes problems
with open files, disabled in ABR11 U0)
Authorized Use Only – Acronis Academy 31
32. 03 Bare Metal Recovery of Hyper-V
ABR11.5 Advanced Platform enables disk-level backups of an entire Hyper-V
host with the ability to perform bare-metal recovery to the same or dissimilar
hardware
Disk Backup Restore
Requires:
VSS backup option in ABR11.5 is enabled
Hyper-V integration services are installed on every VM
In cases of recovery to the same hardware/configuration, VMs may be resumed
immediately. If recovered to dissimilar machine, re-assignment of virtual
network adapters
