Data ProtectionDirect Backup to Public Cloud
Back up workloads straight to your own public cloud storage.
Acronis Direct Backup to Public Cloud lets you back up workloads directly to public cloud object storage — Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other clouds — giving flexibility over where backup data lives for cost, sovereignty, and existing-cloud-investment reasons. It brings Acronis backup and cyber protection to the storage you already use. Faltrox delivers it as managed backup with cloud-storage flexibility.
Overview
What Direct Backup to Public Cloud is
Not every organisation wants its backups only in a vendor’s cloud — many already have public cloud storage they want to use, or have data-sovereignty and cost requirements that dictate where backup data lives. Acronis Direct Backup to Public Cloud gives that flexibility: it backs up workloads directly to public cloud storage rather than requiring an intermediate destination.
It supports backing up to Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other public clouds, so backup data lands in the storage you choose while still benefiting from Acronis’ backup engine and cyber-protection features. That lets you meet data-sovereignty, cost, and existing-investment requirements without giving up integrated protection. Faltrox operates it as a managed backup service with control over where the data resides.

FAQ
Common questions
01Why back up directly to public cloud?
For flexibility over where backup data lives — many organisations already have public cloud storage they want to use, or have data-sovereignty and cost requirements that dictate the destination. Direct Backup to Public Cloud lets you choose the cloud and region while keeping Acronis’ integrated protection.
02Which clouds are supported?
Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other public clouds as direct backup destinations, so backup data lands in the storage you choose rather than only in a vendor cloud.
03Do we lose cyber-protection features by choosing our own storage?
No — backups retain the Acronis backup engine and cyber-protection features regardless of where the data is stored, so you get destination flexibility without giving up integrated protection.
04How does this help with data sovereignty?
You choose the specific public cloud and region for backup data, so you can keep it within the jurisdictions your compliance and sovereignty requirements demand. Faltrox configures the destination to your requirements.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We configure the public cloud backup destination, schedule and monitor the backups, and run recoveries — delivering managed backup with full control over where your data resides.
