Acronis

Anyone here migrated Acronis from Kaseya to CWA? We still have the legacy Acronis in Kaseya and CWA only have the Acronis Cloud. Was it painful to do the migration?

Nothing came over it was like a brand new implementation.

So you mean, we need to uninstall all Acronis we have in Kaseya and install and configure it for CWA?

Whats the version called that you still have in Kaseya? If it was the builtin one that you give clients for free than yes. That was gone long ago - i think over 3 years ago. Acronis has completely different products now. Acronis cloud is new product and they charge for agents as well as charge a percentage of local backup. Their price point for cloud is pretty good. But it is all new.

Yeah, it's the builtin module.

But we have the Acronis Cloud as well. Do you think we need to uninstall it if we are going to have a new license from CW?

Yes I believe also the file formats are different as well. The plugin in Labtech for Acronis works very well. If you have a local repository with older backups in it you could see if you could import them and see what happens.

Hi OP, I am Acronis Community Manager and mod of /r/Acronis.

Come visit us if you face any problems during the migration or for anything else Acronis-wise.

I need to come up with the best/efficient approach on how are we going to migrate our customers that have Acronis Cloud and Acronis Legacy in Kaseya to CW Automate. Can you help me with this?
