Backup that doesn't restore is just expensive hope.

Most SMBs find out their backups are broken on the worst possible day. We've seen $20k Synology arrays that hadn't backed up in 8 months — and the owner didn't know.

Backups silently fail

File-level backups fail without alerting in 23% of small business environments (Veeam SMB Trends 2024). You only find out when you try to restore.

Recovery time is the killer

Restoring a single server from cold backup takes 4-8 hours minimum. A full ransomware-recovery rebuild without DR can stretch to 22 days. Your business doesn't survive 22 days down.

Ransomware encrypts backups too

Modern ransomware (LockBit, Conti, BlackCat) deletes Volume Shadow Copies, attacks NAS, and hunts for backup credentials. Your local backup is a target, not a safety net.

One platform. One agent. One throat to choke.

Acronis combines image-based backup, off-site replication, ransomware rollback, and endpoint security in one platform — and SynergyIQ tests your restore quarterly so we know it works.

Image + file-level backup Bare-metal restore for servers, granular file-level for workstations. Same console, same agent, same SynergyIQ team.
Immutable cloud backup Air-gapped copies in Acronis Cloud — ransomware can't touch them, even if attackers get domain admin in your environment.
Active ransomware protection Acronis Active Protection detects encryption-in-progress behavior and rolls back affected files automatically. We've seen it stop attacks in real time.
Quarterly restore testing We don't just back up — we restore a random workload every quarter and send you the proof. Auditors and insurance carriers love this.
DR runbook included Every SynergyIQ-managed Acronis deployment ships with a written disaster recovery runbook tailored to your business. No 'figuring it out' at 3am.
HIPAA/SOC 2 ready BAA available. Encryption at rest and in transit. Geographic redundancy in US datacenters.

Things Houston businesses actually ask us

Does Acronis work for Microsoft 365 data?
Yes. Acronis backs up M365 mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams to a separate cloud. Microsoft's native retention is not a backup — Acronis is. Most cyber-insurance carriers now require this.
How often do backups run?
Default is hourly for servers, every 4 hours for workstations. We tune to your RPO target. The off-site immutable copy syncs every 24 hours by default — or more often for HIPAA/PCI environments.
What if I already have Datto/Veeam/something else?
We can migrate, or in some cases run Acronis alongside as a secondary copy. Free 30-min consult to compare your current backup against Acronis on real cost and recovery time.
Is the cloud backup stored in the US?
Yes. SynergyIQ deploys all Acronis cloud backups to US datacenters by default. EU or Canada available on request for cross-border compliance.
What's actually included in the managed service?
Daily backup health monitoring, ransomware alert response, quarterly test restores, annual DR drill, and 24/7 on-call for emergency recovery. Plus the runbook updates.
