Complete Business Protection

Protect your entire Active Directory with disk-imaging backup of all domain controller servers and individual Active Directory database files.

World’s Fastest Recovery

Reduce RTOs to seconds with Acronis Instant Restore™, which starts your domain controller backup directly from storage as a VMware or Hyper-V VM — no data movement or standby hardware required.

Flexible Storage Options

Protect your user authentication data with backups secured by strong in-flight and at-rest encryption and stored in up to five locations, including local disks, NAS, SAN, tape, as well as proven and secure Acronis Cloud Storage.

Intuitive, Scalable Management

Easily protect all your local and remote domain controllers from a central location with a touch-friendly, web-based management console.

Innovative Data Protection

Reduce risks by preventing USN rollback, as Acronis Backup detects multiple domain controllers in your Active Directory and automatically performs non-authoritative restore.

Key Features

Complete Business Protection

Virtual Domain Controllers

Mitigate risks with agentless and agent-based backup and recovery of your virtual domain controllers on any of six supported hypervisors.

Evolve your business with domain controller migration between different hypervisors and to/from physical machines (P2V, V2V, V2P, and P2P) or the cloud.

Complete Active Directory Backup

Reduce RTOs and simplify recovery with backup of entire domain controllers, including operating system, Active Directory databases, settings and configuration.

World’s Fastest Recovery

Acronis Universal Restore

Minimize expensive downtime by restoring Windows and Linux systems to dissimilar hardware, including bare-metal physical, virtual, or cloud environments.

Remote Bare-Metal Recovery

Reduce RTOs of critical systems by automating and orchestrating the recovery by customizing the bootable media with scripting.

Flexible Storage Options

Local disks, NAS, SAN

Reduce RTOs of individual systems and speed up granular recoveries with support of any local and network-based disk storage, without the need to establish backup or media servers.
