Acronis Cyber Backup Server 1 Device 1 Year: Enterprise-Grade Business Continuity for a Single Server

Protecting your organisation’s data is not merely an IT task—it is a fundamental business imperative. The Acronis Cyber Backup Server licence for 1 device over 1 year delivers a rigorously tested, cyber-resilient backup and disaster recovery solution engineered for small and medium-sized enterprises, IT administrators, and managed service providers who require uncompromising reliability without unnecessary complexity. This is not a stripped-down consumer tool; it is a full-featured server backup platform that combines active ransomware protection, flexible recovery options, and centralised management into a single, cohesive workflow.

This annual subscription licence covers one physical or virtual Windows server, providing you with the essential tools to defend against data loss, hardware failure, and the ever-present threat of malicious encryption. By choosing a genuine, verified licence from Lizensa, you secure immediate digital delivery, ensuring that your critical systems can be protected within minutes of purchase. The core value proposition is clear: minimise downtime and maximise data integrity with a solution trusted by businesses across the European Union.

Key features and benefits

• Comprehensive image-based and file-level backup: Capture an exact replica of your entire server, including the operating system, applications, and configurations, or select individual files and folders. This dual approach ensures you can perform a bare-metal recovery after a catastrophic failure or quickly retrieve a single accidentally deleted document.
• Active ransomware protection and crypto-jacking defence: Acronis Cyber Backup Server integrates artificial intelligence-based behavioural detection that identifies and halts ransomware encryption processes in real time. This protects not only your live data but also your backup files from being compromised, a critical layer of defence often missing in standard backup tools.
• Universal Restore for dissimilar hardware recovery: Rapidly restore a full server image to entirely different physical hardware or a virtual machine (VM). This capability eliminates the headache of sourcing identical legacy components after a hardware failure, enabling recovery to modern, readily available equipment or a Hyper-V/VMware host.
• Incremental and differential backup strategies: Optimise both storage consumption and backup windows by capturing only the data blocks that have changed since the last full or incremental backup. This reduces the load on your network and storage infrastructure while allowing for more frequent recovery points.
• Centralised web-based management console: Administer, monitor, and report on backup activities for all protected devices from a single, intuitive dashboard. This is particularly valuable for IT administrators managing distributed environments or MSPs overseeing multiple client infrastructures.
• Flexible storage destination options: Store your backups on local disks, network-attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), or directly in the Acronis Cloud. A hybrid local-plus-cloud strategy provides the ideal balance between rapid local recovery and secure, air-gapped offsite copies for true disaster recovery.
• Resilient backup format with data integrity checks: The proprietary backup format includes automatic integrity verification, ensuring that your backups are not corrupted and will be fully restorable when needed. Scheduled validation routines provide proactive assurance.
• Bare-metal restore to Windows Server: Execute a complete system recovery from a bootable media, restoring the entire server to its previous state without first installing a base operating system. This drastically reduces recovery time objectives (RTOs).
• Support for Windows Server editions: The solution is optimised for the Windows Server ecosystem, supporting the specific features and roles of modern Windows Server environments, including Active Directory, Exchange, and SQL Server.

What's included with your purchase

Your purchase from Lizensa provides a complete, activation-ready package for one device for a 1-year term. You receive a digitally delivered email containing your unique Acronis Cyber Backup Server licence key and a direct link to download the official installation media from Acronis’s secure portal. A detailed, step-by-step activation guide is included to walk you through the process.

This is a commercial, server-grade subscription licence, not a consumer OEM or Retail key. It is a full-term licence valid for 365 days from activation, granting access to all product updates and technical support from Acronis during the subscription period. The licence is designed for a single Windows Server installation, whether on bare-metal hardware or a virtual machine. A Lizensa VAT invoice is provided with every order, enabling straightforward business expensing and tax compliance.

Licensing explained: what you need to know

The Acronis Cyber Backup Server licensing model is straightforward and device-centric, avoiding the complexity of core-based or CAL-based models found in some other enterprise software. Here is how it works:

• Device-based licensing: This licence covers one physical or virtual server. You do not need to count processor cores or purchase additional Client Access Licences (CALs). The single licence entitles you to protect the entire server instance.
• Virtualisation rights: You can protect a virtual machine running on a hypervisor like Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vSphere. The licence is assigned to the virtual machine, not the physical host. If you need to protect multiple VMs on a single host, you require one licence per virtual machine.
• No CALs required: Unlike Microsoft server products, Acronis Cyber Backup Server does not operate on a Server + CAL model. The device licence is all-encompassing for the backup and recovery functionality on that machine.
• Subscription term: This is a 1-year subscription. The software will continue to function for recovery purposes after expiry, but you will lose the ability to create new backups and receive product updates unless the licence is renewed. This model ensures you always have access to the latest cyber protection technologies.

System requirements / compatibility

Before installation, verify that your environment meets the following minimum specifications. These requirements are for the Acronis Cyber Backup Server component.

• Operating System: Windows Server (exact supported editions should be confirmed against the latest Acronis documentation for this version).
• Platform: Windows only.
• Processor Architecture: 32-bit and 64-bit are supported where the specific product edition permits.
• Memory (RAM): A minimum of 2 GB is required, though 4 GB is strongly recommended for optimal performance, especially when managing large backup catalogues or running multiple concurrent tasks.
• Storage: A minimum of 2 GB of free disk space is required for the software installation.
• Internet Connection: Required for licence activation and for cloud-based features, including cloud storage and the management console.
• Product Languages: The software interface is available in English (en), German (de), French (fr), Dutch (nl), and Polish (pl).

Note: Exact system requirements can vary by specific build and edition. We recommend validating your environment against the official Acronis vendor documentation before activating the product.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?

This is a 1-year subscription licence. The software will be fully functional for creating backups and receiving updates for the duration of the term. After 365 days, you must renew the licence to continue creating new backups, though you will retain the ability to restore data from existing backups.

How fast will I receive my licence key after payment?

Our digital delivery system is automated. In the vast majority of cases, your licence key and download instructions are dispatched by email in under 60 seconds. This means you can begin your server protection almost immediately after purchase.

Is this a genuine, legally compliant licence for my business?

Absolutely. Lizensa supplies only 100% genuine, verified licences sourced from authorised European distribution. You will receive a proper VAT invoice, and the licence is fully compliant for commercial use within the EU, passing any software asset management audit.

What happens if I have trouble activating the software?

Lizensa provides free multilingual technical support. If you encounter an error during activation, our support team can help troubleshoot the issue. As a first step, always ensure you are installing the correct edition downloaded from the official Acronis portal and that your server has a stable internet connection.

Can I reinstall the software or transfer the licence to a new server?

You can reinstall the software on the same server hardware as many times as needed during the licence term. If you need to move the licence to a different physical server or virtual machine, this is generally permitted if the original device is decommissioned, but the licence is designed to be assigned to one device at a time.

Does this licence work in my country within the European Union?

Yes. This licence is valid for activation and use in all 27 EU member states. The software interface itself supports multiple languages, including English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish.

What payment methods does Lizensa accept?

We offer a wide range of secure payment options processed through Stripe. You can pay via SEPA bank transfer, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and major debit and credit cards. This ensures a convenient and secure checkout experience across Europe.

Do you provide a VAT invoice for my purchase?

Yes, a detailed VAT invoice is automatically generated and included with your delivery email. For B2B customers with a valid EU VAT ID, the reverse charge mechanism can be applied, simplifying your intra-community tax reporting.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a 14-day right of withdrawal in accordance with EU consumer protection regulations. If the licence key has not been activated or its integrity compromised, you are eligible for a full refund. Our support team can guide you through this process if needed.

Does this product protect against ransomware?

Yes, a key differentiator of Acronis Cyber Backup Server is its integrated active ransomware protection. It uses behavioural heuristics to detect and block malicious encryption processes in real time, safeguarding both your live data and your backup files from being corrupted by an attack.

Can I use this to back up a virtual machine instead of a physical server?

Yes, the licence is fully valid for protecting a virtual machine running on a supported hypervisor. The 1-device licence simply applies to the virtual server instance, giving you the same comprehensive backup and recovery capabilities as on a physical machine.

What is Universal Restore and why is it important?

Universal Restore is a powerful Acronis technology that allows you to restore a full system image to dissimilar hardware. This is critical for disaster recovery because it means you are not dependent on finding an exact replacement for a failed server; you can restore your entire system to a new, different machine or a virtual environment, dramatically reducing downtime.
