Acronis

Acronis is a popular backup and recovery software that protects your important files, photos, and entire computers from loss or damage. It automatically makes copies of your data so you can quickly restore everything if your laptop crashes, gets stolen, or gets hit by ransomware. It uses S3-compatible object storage as a safe, scalable off-site vault in the cloud where your encrypted backups are kept away from your main devices. This S3 storage lets Acronis offer unlimited retention, fast retrieval when you need files back, and rock-solid protection without you having to buy and manage your own hard drives. The combination gives regular people and businesses peace of mind that their digital life is securely saved and easy to recover at any time.
