If you have found this article in the search for a non-subscription based alternative to Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office then this might not be the section you are initially wanting to read, but please stick with me for a minute as there are some important points to be made here!įirstly, there are two important services which are now integrated into the Cyber Protect Home Office software, these are a fully functional anti-virus and cyber protection solution alongside a fully functional cloud storage service which is built directly into the software and operated by Acronis themselves.īy integrating and configuring these services as a part of the backup solution itself, Acronis not only remove the need for their customers to purchase, install and configure these services separately, but also help to mitigate any potential data protection issues which might occur as a result of configuring services such as these incorrectly.

This starts with a quick look at some of the newest features on offer from Acronis which might actually warrant making this subscription-only service a good decision after all? With this in mind, I am going to use this article both to address some of the many benefits of this new Acronis subscription software (in my opinion, at least) whilst also listing some good alternatives to Cyber Protect Home Office for anyone looking for similar functionality without the need for a subscription to be paid. One of the biggest changes to the leading Acronis True Image software of recent times (aside from the fact it has also recently been renamed to Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office) is Acronis making the decision to no longer sell perpetual licences to individual customers and instead make the product a subscription only option!Īs an Acronis customer of many years myself (about 15 off the top of my head) I was initially quite surprised to hear this news, especially so as I believe that perpetual licences can still offer great value in certain circumstances (especially so with secondary or less important PCs which only require a basic backup solution out of convenience as opposed to those requiring the latest data protection features currently on offer).
