Acronis Backup 12 enables businesses to protect all their data, both locally and in the cloud, using a unified solution, configuration, and interface. In 2016, the current version of Acronis Backup 12 received an excellent reception from enterprise customers, recording 40% sales growth. In line with Acronis's cloud strategy, Acronis Backup 12 adds new functionality for backing up data in Microsoft Office 365, which has been available as part of Acronis Backup Cloud since July 2016 and has seen considerable success among cloud service provider customers. Backup services for Microsoft Office 365 provide maximum flexibility and scalability. “Businesses care about three important factors: control over data, security, and costs. Aligning all these requirements is becoming increasingly complicated as companies and their data volumes grow and data protection becomes ever more complex. Acronis considers control over one's own data a key capability, and businesses also appreciate the ability to manage different types of data,” said Ray Boggs, IDC Vice President for research in the SMB segment. According to the latest findings by Enterprise Strategy Group, three quarters of the surveyed companies intend to protect their data in the public cloud in a location other than their production cloud environment. They realize that an interruption in cloud service delivery or other issues may result in the loss of not only production data but also its backups. 44% of respondents stated that they would move their data to another cloud for faster and more reliable access, while 29% prefer to place a copy of their cloud data in local storage. **Microsoft Office 365 backup** The new Microsoft Office 365 protection functionality offers: - Automatic backup of emails, including contacts, calendar, tasks, and attachments; - The ability to store backed-up data locally or in the cloud and access it for archival purposes; - Browsing and searching backed-up content; - The ability to restore individual and shared mailboxes to their original or an alternative location; - The ability to restore individual items without having to restore the entire backup; - Acronis Active Protection against ransomware, protecting user devices and data by blocking attacks and instantly restoring affected data (available in the next update). **Support for VMware vSphere 6.5 and other innovations** This update also introduces support for VMware vSphere 6.5 – agent-based and agentless backup of VMs and ESXi, support for VMware CBT, Acronis Instant Recovery, Acronis vmFlashBack, replication with WAN optimization, and other technical and operational innovations. **Complete protection of all data** Acronis Backup 12 offers protection for more than just Microsoft Office 365 or VMware vSphere 6.5 data; it is the only solution that protects all data, in all locations and in any environment. It enables businesses to retain control over their data even after moving to the cloud or when managing a hybrid cloud infrastructure. - **All virtual environments:** best-in-class backup and recovery of virtual machines and hosted infrastructure; - **All clouds:** easy backup and recovery of Microsoft Azure VMs, Amazon EC locations, and Microsoft Office 365 mailboxes; - **All physical devices:** Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac servers and workstations, as well as iPhone, iPad, and Android devices; - **All applications:** Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, and many more. “Today, businesses increasingly rely on Microsoft's cloud services. But cloud data also needs protection and must remain continuously available to ensure business continuity. Email backup within Microsoft Office 365 extends the functionality of Acronis Backup 12 and offers comprehensive protection of the company's complete digital footprint,” said **Serguei Beloussov, founder and CEO of Acronis**. “We welcome the attention Acronis gives to Microsoft technologies,” said Rob Howard, Director of the Microsoft Office 365 Ecosystem. “By extending the benefits of Acronis Backup to Microsoft Office 365 data, Acronis helps provide our mutual customers with a robust and user-friendly backup environment.” Article author: ZEBR.ai editorial team Read on ## More related articles [All articles](https://zebr.ai/en/blog) ### [ZEBR.AI: N-able introduces shadow AI identification into its UEM and security solutions](https://zebr.ai/en/blog/zebr-ai-n-able-introduces-shadow-ai-identification-into-its-uem-and-security-solutions) New capabilities provide visibility into the use of AI tools across all endpoints and networks by individual identities, without the need for additional agents or infrastructure 28/09/2026 · 3 min read ### [Acronis: Ransomware can halt production even without attacking PLC systems](https://zebr.ai/en/blog/acronis-ransomware-can-halt-production-even-without-attacking-plc-systems) For manufacturing companies, ransomware is not just a matter of IT security, but a matter of production continuity 23/09/2026 · 3 min read ### [GFI Archiver AI simplifies integration with GFI KerioConnect](https://zebr.ai/en/blog/gfi-archiver-ai-simplifies-integration-with-gfi-kerioconnect) Direct integration of both products makes working with corporate emails easier, improves mail server performance, and enables more effective compliance with regulations 21/09/2026 · 2 min read Contact ## Do you need a solution for yourself or for your client?
