What's new

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Microsoft 365 OneNote backup and recovery

Partners can now recover Microsoft365 OneNote notebooks not just by downloading them but also directly in the Microsoft365 account.

macOS 13 Ventura support

Partners can now protect macOS 13 workloads with Acronis almost immediately after the macOS 13 release (expected in October 2022).

Integration with ConnectWise Asio Platform

ConnectWise Asio is a new unified IT management platform for MSPs evolving from the existing ConnectWise Command platform. Acronis is one of the first ConnectWise partners to have an integration available with the initial release of Asio, which will be a boost for MSPs who have already adopted Asio.

Partners can now connect their Asio account to their Acronis partner tenant, map Asio sites to Acronis customer tenants, deploy Acronis agent on devices enrolled in Asio (Windows only), report the protection status of mapped devices in Asio, and generate tickets based on Acronis alerts in Asio.

Files Sync & Share: Public link to a folder

Users can now create a direct link to a folder for sharing files (pictures, videos, contract templates, marketing materials, and so on) with external users without giving them permission to modify the folder content (upload or delete files).
