Acronis · Explained
Where is Acronis backup data stored?
You choose where each backup goes: local storage such as a NAS or disk in your office, Acronis cloud data centres, or both. Acronis runs more than 50 data centres worldwide and opened a Cyber Cloud data centre in Abu Dhabi in April 2024, its first in the UAE, which Acronis describes as compliant with ISO 27001 and IEC 22237. We can create your Acronis tenant in the UAE data centre, so the cloud copy stays in the UAE. For Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar, a local copy on your own storage can sit in-country while the cloud copy sits in the UAE. Gulf Infotech can supply whatever Acronis offers, both the products and the data centre locations, so we match the storage location to your data rules.
If your requirements call for data to stay in your country, see in-country cloud hosting and data residency.

Acronis · FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is Acronis Cyber Protect?
Acronis Cyber Protect is Acronis's business product that combines backup, disaster recovery and endpoint protection in one agent and console. It backs up files, full disk images, virtual machines and databases, protects against ransomware and, depending on the edition, adds security features such as URL filtering. IT teams can run it on-premises or from the cloud console, or buy it as a managed cloud service through a partner such as Gulf Infotech.
Can Acronis back up servers, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes. Acronis backs up Windows and Linux servers, VMware, Hyper-V and other virtual machines, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace without an agent. Cloud-app backup covers mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Gmail and Drive. In the on-premises editions, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup is in Backup Advanced, not Standard, so we check this before you buy.
Where is the backup stored?
Backups go to local storage in your office, to Acronis cloud data centres, or to both. Acronis has more than 50 data centres worldwide, including a Cyber Cloud data centre in Abu Dhabi opened in April 2024, and we can place your cloud backups there. Keeping a local copy for fast restores and a cloud copy off-site follows the 3-2-1 rule. Regulated companies should match the cloud location to their data rules.
How much does Acronis cost?
Acronis cost depends on the number and type of workloads you protect and the cloud storage you use, so we quote per customer. Servers cost more than workstations, and disaster recovery adds standby compute. IT teams buy multi-year subscriptions; managed service customers pay monthly for what they use. Send us your server, laptop and user counts for a quote.
Does Acronis protect backups from ransomware?
Yes. Acronis includes ransomware protection that detects and stops encryption on protected machines, and it supports immutable storage, so backup copies cannot be deleted or changed for a set period. Some editions also scan backups for malware, which helps pick a clean restore point. We also keep one copy offline or isolated from your normal admin accounts.
Can you take over our existing Acronis setup?
Yes. We review your current backup plans, storage, retention and alert settings, fix gaps such as missing servers or untested restores, and then monitor and support the setup. If your licence is with another provider, we plan the move at renewal so backups keep running. Start with a short review call.
