Acronis True Image 2017 provides several new features that set it apart from other backup software. An independent lab tested its performance, usability, ransomware protection, and features. The lab found that only Acronis True Image 2017 was able to protect backups from every ransomware family tested. It also won the majority of performance tests and provided the fastest cloud backup speeds. Additionally, Acronis True Image 2017 includes Active Protection technology that shields backup files from ransomware infections to prevent data loss.

Independent, third-party lab reports overview from:
Topics: Performance, Usability, Ransomware Protection, Features
April 2017

Another Acronis Industry First!
“One of the most important features in the current
version is the Acronis Active Protection.
It is an advanced, active protection against data
loss to ransomware. It protects the backup files
upon a ransomware infection and is able to
prevent any data loss.
This feature makes True Image
unique among all backup software.”

Independent MRG Effitas tests focused on
security, speed, usability, and features
“We know that all endpoints can be infected,
regardless of the security solution employed.
That is why in these tests we first focused
on the backup protection level against
ransomware infection.”
“[Next up were] performance and usability because
Besides data protection, the backup
solution products should be fast and
usable.”

MRG Effitas Independent tests
“Among all the products we tested,
Only Acronis True Image 2017 New
Generation was able to protect the
backups from every Ransomware family
tested.
The other solutions have basically zero backup protection
when it comes to Ransomware…”
“Acronis won the most performance
tests (18 out of 24), and in the cases when it did not
win a test, it scored second.”

Fast: Optimized for modern SSD drives

Fast: The best cloud performance
“The connection speed
to its own cloud was
way faster than any
other competitor’s.”
“Acronis True Image earned the
‘best’ title as it finished first in 18 of
24 test cases and, when it didn’t
win, it finished second.
Acronis did the fastest at backup
on HDD and on SSD as well.”

Ransomware Protection
Three scenarios that must be addressed
“#1. Local backup file protection against ransomware
The number one best practice to protect against ransomware is to have backups. What most home users
forget that ransomware can encrypt the backup files if these files are not offline, read-only or in the cloud.”*
“#2. Cloud backup file and scheduled backup
protection against ransomware”*
“#3. Performance”
See elsewhere in this presentation about how Acronis wins!
Amongst solutions tested by MRG
Effitas, the following vulnerabilities were
uncovered:
• Malware accessing cloud credentials
• Man in the middle attacks against the
network data flow
• .EXE background services not sufficiently
protected
• The possibility for malware to decrypt
encrypted data.”
For Acronis?
“No vulnerability found.”

Protection from ransomware families
“Among all the products we
tested, only Acronis
True Image 2017
New Generation was
able to protect the
backups from every
Ransomware family
tested. The other solutions
have basically zero backup
protection when it comes to
Ransomware.”

Acronis protection for the win!

Protecting backup files themselves
“Based on the tests, only
Acronis’ backup file is
protected against
ransomware,
the other products archives are
only left untouched if the
ransomware is not configured
to encrypt that kind of file type.”

11. 11ACRONIS © 2017
Feature Complete
“Acronis True Image has
been an established backup
tool for years and now with
the added new features–
especially the Acronis
Active Protection –
Acronis surely
takes the lead in
this contest.”
