This section contains a brief overview of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online and answers questions

that may arise during evaluation and usage of this product.

7.1.1 What is Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online?

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online is a service that enables you to back up data to Acronis Online

Backup Storage. To use this service, you need to buy a subscription that determines the amount of

storage space reserved for your backups (storage quota) and how long the online service will be

available to you.

A separate subscription is required for each physical machine you are going to back up. The server or

workstation subscription that you buy will depend on the Windows operating system that the

machine is running. Other operating systems are not supported by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10

Online.

Example: A 250 GB/ 1 year workstation subscription means that you can back up data from a

machine running a non-server Windows operating system for a period of 1 year. The backups can

occupy no more than 250 GB.
