We are aware that you probably have specialized antivirus, web filtering, or other security software installed on your device. By choosing this option, after the first successful backup, your backup and replication will be done simultaneously, in parallel. With Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, you also have the ability to automatically replicate local backups in the Acronis Cloud, so you always have an off-site copy of your data available without having to manage a separate backup plan. Subscriptions to the Advanced and Premium editions of Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (formerly Acronis True Image) include cloud storage, as well as cloud-based features and anywhere access to your data. Because you just log in via the internet, the cloud is a convenient way to store your files off-site, where they are safe from local damage. 'The cloud' is a term that describes a remote network of computers and servers that you access via the internet. That way, if a fire or flood damages both your original files and the local backup, the off-site copy is available to use for recovery. Acronis recommends the 3-2-1 backup rule, which includes storing a copy of your backup files locally (on external hard drives, network drives, and NAS devices) and another copy off-site.

Computer backups need to be stored someplace safe.
