Why You Should Upgrade Your Data Backup | Sourcepass + Acronis

Written by Kyra Mindlin | Nov 05, 2024

With ever-evolving cyber threats on the rise, protecting your business is more important than ever. From potential threats such as ransomware, natural disasters, or hardware failure, your data needs to be backed up and fully secured in multiple places to achieve a healthy data protection posture.

That's where our data backup partner, Acronis, comes in. If your backup solutions are outdated or single purpose, it’s time to make the switch to a comprehensive and integrated data solution.

Acronis, in partnership with Sourcepass, not only offers industry-leading backup capabilities but also integrates cutting-edge cybersecurity to safeguard your data and systems from all angles. 

Here’s why you should make the switch to Sourcepass and Acronis for data backup and protection—and why it's important to do it sooner than later:

 

1. Integrated Cybersecurity and Proactive Backup in One

 

Acronis is more than just a backup provider—it’s a complete data protection platform. With Acronis Cyber Protect, your business can enjoy both backup and cybersecurity integrated into a single, integrated solution.

This seamless solution means you’re not just recovering data after an incident; you’re actively preventing cyber threats before they have a chance to damage your systems. 

Why It Matters: Traditional backup focuses solely on data recovery, leaving your systems still vulnerable to cyberattacks without a separate security solution. Acronis’s integrated approach protects your data at all times, reducing the risk of data loss, financial damage, and downtime. 

  

2. Advanced Protection Against Ransomware

 

Ransomware is one of the fastest-growing cyber threats, and any business or employee is at risk.

Acronis implements AI-based Active Protection, which detects and stops ransomware attacks in real time. This means that if hackers try to encrypt or delete your files, Acronis steps in to prevent it, keeping your data safe and secure.   

Why It Matters: Most backup solutions don’t offer proactive protection against ransomware, leaving organizations to find a separate, costly solution. Acronis is designed to keep your systems and backups safe, even from the most advanced ransomware attacks. 

  

3. Faster Backup and Recovery

 

Time is money, and every minute your systems are down is a direct cost to your business. Acronis offers fast backup speeds and instant recovery to minimize downtime when disaster strikes.

With features like bare-metal recovery, Acronis restores entire systems quickly, getting you up and running without the time cost of reinstalling and reconfiguring systems. 

Why It Matters: Quick recovery times are critical to business continuity. Acronis and Sourcepass ensure minimal downtime, helping you mitigate disruptions faster than ever. 

  

4. Flexibility to Protect All Environments

 

Every business has unique IT needs. Whether you’re running a cloud-based system, onsite servers, virtual tech, or a hybrid environment, Acronis has you covered. Acronis offers flexible, scalable, and seamless solutions that grow with your business, protecting your data no matter where it resides or how it grows.

Why It Matters: As your business evolves, so do your IT and tech requirements. Sourcepass, in partnership with Acronis, adapts and grows with you, ensuring that you don’t have to switch providers as your infrastructure changes. 

  

5. Ensuring Compliance with Industry Regulations

 

Many industries—such as healthcare, finance, retail, and legal—are subject to strict regulations around data protection and privacy. Acronis provides end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and secure cloud storage to help your business remain compliant with standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and more.

Why It Matters: Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to hefty fines, legal action, and massive reputational damage. Acronis keeps your data secure and ensures you’re always compliant with the latest standards. 

  

6. Lower Total Cost of Ownership  

 

Switching to Acronis with Sourcepass can helps reduce overall operational costs in the long run.

With Acronis’s integrated solutions, you won't need to learn, train, or manage multiple tools for backup, cybersecurity, and disaster recovery. You also save by avoiding the high costs associated with downtime, ransomware attacks, and regulatory penalties. 

Why It Matters: Acronis provides a comprehensive solution that reduces complexity, streamlines management, and offers flexible pricing, helping you optimize and stay within your IT budget for years to come.

  

7. Built-In Disaster Recovery

 

Disaster recovery is often an afterthought for many businesses, but it’s crucial to minimizing downtime when the unexpected happens. Otherwise, you'll be implementing disaster recovery as data loss happens without a roadmap on how to properly and efficiently remediate the issue.

Acronis offers built-in Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), allowing you to recover critical systems quickly. Features, like runbooks, automate recovery processes, making it easier to get back online after an outage, natural disaster, or data breach.

Why It Matters: Natural disasters, power outages, and human error can happen at any time. Acronis ensures your business can continue operating - no matter what. 

  

Why Now is the Time to Switch

 

Is your current backup solution lacking any of the following?

  • Integrated security,
  • Rapid recovery
