Does this replace our antivirus?

It can. Acronis includes endpoint protection, which is much of the consolidation argument. Whether you should replace an incumbent depends on what it is and what it is tied to — we will tell you honestly.

Do we still need Microsoft 365 backup if we have retention policies?

Yes. Retention policies protect against accidental deletion within a window. They are not backup, and they will not help against a malicious admin or a ransomware event.

Is the storage yours or Acronis'?

Either. We run client data in Acronis cloud storage, in a regional data center for sovereignty requirements, or on storage you already own.

What is inside

Everything it covers

01 What is covered: servers, endpoints, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, hypervisors
02 Immutable storage and how the retention lock actually works
03 Anti-ransomware with pre-restore malware scanning, so you do not reinfect on recovery
04 Recovery options — file level, full image, bare metal, and failover to cloud
05 Typical RPO and RTO figures by workload type
06 Where palmiq's managed service starts and the software stops
07 Licensing model, per workload and per gigabyte

How we use it

Acronis sits at the center of our backup and recovery stack. Everything on the data sheet is something we run in production for clients — not a feature list copied from a vendor deck.

The section worth reading twice is recovery testing. Software that can restore is common; a process that proves it restored last month is what an auditor and a cyber-insurer actually want to see.
