After loading the agent on our host server, all VMs were immediately listed in the console. Backing up 25GB of test data to the LTO-7 tape drive also completed at a speedy average of 150MB/sec. When we backed up 120GB of data from a Windows Server 2012 R2 system to the NAS share over Gigabit Ethernet, the operation completed at an average of 204MB/sec - much faster than a direct file copy, thanks to Acronis' smart use of compression. ![]() ![]() We also configured an HPE Ultrium LTO-7 15000 SAS tape drive connected to a Windows Storage Node host, allowing it to be used as a shared backup location. To test regular backup functions, we set up a 27TB NAS appliance share as our destination, along with local storage on the management server. We tested this by encrypting a small group of files on a test host: the agent duly stopped the process and reverted all the files back to their original state in seconds. While backups may only run to a schedule, the new anti-ransomware feature keeps a constant eye out for dubious activity if it sees a rogue program meddling with your files, it can automatically kill the process and restore the files from the agent's service cache. ![]() ![]() Backups default to "always incremental", but you can change this to suit your needs traditionalists can also choose an old-school GFS ("grandfather, father, son") strategy. Your backup strategy is assembled in the form of "plans", which bring together backup sources, applications, destinations, schedules, retention periods and encryption options.
