Backup and restore you can actually bet on
Image + file-level backups, continuous data protection, restores we test every quarter
Acronis Advanced Backup combines image-based and file-level backups, granular recovery and immutable cloud copies on one platform. Neo Security designs the architecture, configures the retention and bandwidth policies, and validates restores on a schedule. So when a DR scenario hits at 3am, you are not guessing.

> What Acronis Advanced Backup solves
Incomplete or inconsistent backups of critical systems that only fail at restore time.
Silos between on-prem, virtualisation and cloud backups, each with its own console and restore model.
No clear picture of RPO and RTO per application or service, so recovery promises are aspirational.
Manual backup scripts nobody dares to touch anymore, or worse, nobody remembers who wrote.
With Acronis you get one platform for backup, recovery and integration with Acronis Cyber Protect for anti-malware, EDR and patch management on the same agent.
The scenario
Ransomware hits on a Friday evening. The file server is encrypted, two VM snapshots are corrupted, and the last tested restore was nine months ago. Your last actual restore was never. The hardest question in the room is not whether you have a backup. It is whether the backup will restore to a working system within the window the business can survive.
Untested backups are not a backup strategy. They are hope with a storage bill.
Industry median: 60% of organisations that pay ransom never get full data back. Tested restores are why the other 40% recover without paying.
> How we deploy Acronis Advanced Backup
Assess
RPO / RTO target per workload, data classification, retention obligations, existing tooling to keep or sunset. Output: an implementation plan you can sign off on.
Deploy
Agent rollout via your endpoint management, destination storage configured (on-prem, Acronis Cloud or both), policies per workload tier, reporting into your SIEM or ticketing system.
Validate
Every policy is tested against a fire drill scenario before go-live. We restore one production-equivalent workload, document the timings, and confirm the RPO / RTO targets hold in practice, not on paper.
Operate
Quarterly restore drills, monthly compliance reports, alerts wired into your SOC or our managed-SOC queue. We own the runbook so you do not rediscover it at 3am.
> Core capabilities
Image & file-level backup
Full disk images for bare-metal recovery and file-level granularity for individual restores. One agent covers Windows Server, Windows Client, Linux and macOS, plus the common hypervisors and M365.
Granular recovery
Restore individual files, folders, application objects or entire VMs. Exchange mailboxes, SQL databases, Active Directory objects and SharePoint items recover in minutes, not hours.
Cloud & hybrid integration
Back up to on-prem storage, Acronis Cloud or both. Tiered policies let you keep recent snapshots locally for fast restore and archive long-term copies off-site, without managing separate tools.
RPO / RTO management
Define recovery objectives per workload with SLA dashboards that flag missed backup windows before the auditor does. Continuous Data Protection (CDP) gives near-zero RPO on the databases where it matters.
> Where it earns its keep
Ransomware recovery
Production file servers and two hypervisor clusters encrypted overnight. Attacker had persistence for 11 days and touched the on-prem backup repository.
Immutable cloud copies untouched. Full restore of the most recent clean snapshot completed within the 8-hour business RTO. No ransom paid.
Hardware failure in legacy environment
End-of-life Windows Server 2012 host hosting a critical line-of-business app. Hardware died on a Sunday, replacement not available until Wednesday.
Bare-metal restore to dissimilar hardware in 2h 40m. Business continuity maintained on the spare box until the replacement arrived.
Compliance evidence for audits
ISO 27001 surveillance audit, auditor asked for proof of restore testing over the past 12 months.
Quarterly restore drill reports handed over directly from the Acronis console. Auditor accepted without follow-up questions.

> Why Neo Security
> We do not just sell licences. We design backup architectures that actually restore.
Every Acronis deployment starts with a review of your workloads, retention requirements and recovery targets. We build the backup plan, validate restores quarterly, and stay on call when a DR scenario hits outside business hours.
Architecture review and backup plan designed against measurable RPO / RTO targets, not marketing claims.
Quarterly restore validation drills, because untested backups are hope with a storage bill.
Ransomware posture review: immutability on the destination, network segmentation on the agent, privilege separation on the console.
24/7 incident support for disaster recovery scenarios, with runbooks rehearsed in your environment.
Licence procurement at partner pricing with Dutch-language support and a single invoice.
Integration into your SIEM or SOC of choice so missed backup windows surface as alerts, not as audit findings six months later.
See whether your restore actually works
A short intake with an engineer reviews your current backup estate, identifies the workloads most likely to fail at restore, and sketches the Acronis architecture that would have saved you in the scenarios above.
