What's new

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Data Download from the "Recently Affected" widget

Administrators of both partner and customer tenants can now easily download information about recently affected workloads by using the "Recently Affected" widget. The information is delivered in the CSV file format and can include data for up to 200 days. Once a data download request is submitted, the system starts a data collection process. When the data is ready for download, an e-mail containing a download link is sent to the email addresses specified in the data download request.

Disaster Recovery: Indication of Disaster Recovery protection status of workloads

A Disaster recovery column is added in the list of all workloads. This helps administrators easily see which workloads are protected with Advanced Disaster Recovery.

Disaster Recovery: Recovery points infected by malware are highlighted in Start Failover dialog

If Advanced Security is enabled to scan the backups of protected workloads, the failover configuration dialog will show infected recovery points highlighted in red. Thus, during failover configuration, administrators can identify infected recovery points and choose clean recovery points to prevent launching workloads with malware in the cloud.

Branding for Cyber Protection agent's installer and tray monitor

This release brings more branding capabilities to complete the corporate look and feel of Acronis partners within Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.
It’s now possible to customize the installer of Cyber Protection agent and the appearance of the tray monitor.

• The following new branding parameters were introduced in the management portal:
  • Agent installer filename
  • Agent name
  • Agent installer logo
  • Tray monitor name
• Color scheme is now applicable to the agent installer and the tray monitor UI.

You must update the Cyber Protection agent to enable the new branding functionality.
After the update, you can change the name and the logo of the agent, the name of the tray monitor, and the color scheme, on the fly, without agent reinstallation.
