Acronis Cyber Backup Server 3 device 1 device 1 year – Enterprise-grade data protection for your critical server

Protecting your organisation’s data is not just an IT task; it’s a fundamental business continuity requirement. The Acronis Cyber Backup Server license provides a robust, image-based backup and recovery solution designed specifically for Windows servers. This 1-device, 1-year subscription license from Lizensa gives you access to a proven platform that safeguards everything from critical application data to the entire operating system, ensuring you can recover from any incident—whether it’s accidental file deletion, hardware failure, or a full-scale disaster—in minutes, not days.

This license is engineered for IT administrators, small and medium-sized business owners, and managed service providers who need to secure a single, high-value server. It is the ideal fit for protecting a primary domain controller, a file server hosting essential documents, a database server powering your line-of-business applications, or a key employee’s workstation that simply cannot experience downtime. It offers a focused, cost-effective entry point into the Acronis ecosystem without over-licensing, allowing you to apply enterprise-grade protection precisely where it is needed most. With centralised management, flexible recovery options, and verified license authenticity, you gain not just software, but operational resilience.

Key features and benefits

• Complete image-based and file-level backup: Capture an exact replica of your entire system, including the operating system, applications, and configurations, or select only specific files and folders. This dual approach provides the speed of granular file recovery with the certainty of full-system disaster recovery, all from a single backup plan.
• Flexible recovery to any hardware: Restore your protected server to the same physical machine, a different server, or even a virtual machine using Acronis Universal Restore. This eliminates compatibility issues during critical recoveries, allowing you to bring systems back online on dissimilar hardware without manual driver injection.
• Bare-metal disaster recovery: Recover a failed server from a completely empty state, without first installing an operating system. Boot from a USB drive or network location, connect to your backup archive, and restore the entire system directly, drastically reducing recovery time objectives (RTOs).
• Centralised web-based management console: Monitor backup status, configure schedules, and manage retention policies for your protected device from a single, intuitive interface. This reduces administrative overhead and provides clear visibility into the health of your backup operations.
• Efficient incremental and differential backups: After the initial full backup, only changed data blocks are captured. This minimises storage consumption and network load, allowing for frequent backups—even every 5 minutes—without impacting server performance.
• Integrated ransomware protection: Acronis Cyber Backup actively detects and stops suspicious processes that attempt to encrypt or tamper with backup files. Your backups remain immutable and available for recovery, even if ransomware infiltrates the production environment.
• Secure AES-256 encryption: Protect your backup archives with industry-standard encryption, both in transit and at rest. This ensures that sensitive business data remains confidential and compliant with data protection regulations.
• One-device, one-year subscription: This license covers a single Windows server for a 12-month term, providing predictable budgeting and ensuring you always have access to the latest product updates and technical support from Acronis.

What's included with your purchase

When you purchase the Acronis Cyber Backup Server 3 device 1 device 1 year license from Lizensa, you receive a complete, legally compliant software package ready for immediate deployment. Your order is processed digitally, and you will receive a confirmation email containing your unique activation key and a direct download link for the official Acronis installation media. There is no physical packaging or shipping; everything is delivered instantly to your inbox and accessible within your Lizensa customer account.

This is a genuine, verified 1-year subscription license for one device. It is not an OEM key tied to specific hardware, nor is it a volume licensing agreement (MAK/KMS). It is a full, retail-equivalent license intended for business use, granting you access to all features of the Acronis Cyber Backup Server edition for the duration of the term. Activation is straightforward: download the software, run the installer on your target Windows server, and enter the provided license key when prompted. The software requires an internet connection for initial activation and periodic license validation. A full, EU-compliant VAT invoice is provided with every purchase, simplifying your accounting and tax reporting.

Licensing explained: what you need to know

Understanding your license model is crucial for maintaining compliance and ensuring your backup infrastructure functions without interruption. This product operates on a straightforward device-based subscription model, which differs significantly from core-based or CAL-based server licensing models commonly found in Microsoft ecosystems.

• Device-based licensing: This license entitles you to install and use Acronis Cyber Backup on a single physical or virtual Windows server. The license is consumed by the protected device, not by the number of processor cores or connected users. This makes capacity planning simple and predictable.
• No CALs required: Unlike Microsoft Windows Server or SQL Server, Acronis Cyber Backup does not require Client Access Licenses (CALs). Any number of users can access the backup console or initiate restores without incurring additional licensing costs. The single license covers all backup operations for that one machine.
• Virtualisation rights: This license can be applied to a virtual machine (VM) running on a hypervisor like Hyper-V or VMware. The license is tied to the specific VM instance. If you need to protect multiple VMs on a single host, you will require a separate license for each VM, or you may need to explore Acronis’s host-based licensing options, which are distinct from this product.
• Subscription term and renewal: This is a 1-year term license. At the end of the 12-month period, the backup functionality will stop unless the license is renewed. Your existing backup archives remain intact and can be accessed for recovery, but new backups cannot be created. Lizensa will notify you before expiry to ensure continuous protection.

System requirements / compatibility

Before installation, please verify that your environment meets the following minimum specifications to ensure optimal performance and stability. These requirements are for the backup agent installed on the protected device.

• Operating System: Windows Server (exact supported editions, such as 2016, 2019, and 2022, should be validated against the official Acronis documentation for this specific build).
• Platform Architecture: 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported where applicable by the product edition.
• Minimum RAM: 2 GB.
• Recommended RAM: 4 GB or more for smoother operation, especially during high-load backup windows.
• Minimum Storage: 2 GB of free disk space for the application installation. Additional, separate storage is required for the backup archives (local disk, NAS, SAN, or cloud storage).
• Internet Connection: Required for license activation, product updates, and optional cloud storage features.
• Product Languages: The software interface supports English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish.

Note: Exact system requirements can vary by product build. We strongly recommend consulting the official Acronis documentation for your specific server operating system version before activating your product.
