Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud 25.07: New in Cyber Protection

Acronis Cyber Cloud 25.07 comes with updates that go beyond technical tweaks—they’re genuinely useful for IT security and management professionals. This version isn’t just about bug fixes or fine-tuning; it introduces features that address long-standing requests from admins and MSPs.

Take this, for example: you can now perform agentless backups in Proxmox VE environments, saving time and reducing complexity. It also adds an extra layer of protection with detection for potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), helping to stop threats before they cause issues. And if you’re using Acronis RMM, you’ll notice major improvements—from clearer security posture reports to automated alerts when something deviates from expected behavior, especially in environments like Microsoft 365.

If you're looking to streamline operations, enhance protection without the hassle, or simply gain more control from a single platform, this update is definitely worth exploring.

What’s New in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud 25.07

Agentless Backup for Proxmox VE: Simpler and More Powerful

If you use Proxmox VE to virtualize your workloads, you can now breathe easy: Acronis Cyber Cloud 25.07 offers official support for agentless backup and recovery in this environment. That means less complexity, lower maintenance, and more agility in protecting your virtual machines and containers.

Now you can:

1. Perform backups without installing an agent inside each VM

2. Restore both VMs and containers running on Proxmox VE 8.2 or later

3. Easily recover individual files

4. Run cross-platform recoveries

5. Migrate workloads to or from Proxmox VE with ease

Why it’s worth it:

1. Proven reliability: Built on Acronis’ 20+ years of data protection expertise

2. True flexibility: Store backups locally, in Acronis Cloud, or in public clouds like AWS or Azure

3. Full compatibility: Supports most VM types and container backends with no VM limitations

What you need to implement it:

1. Install the Linux Agent along with a special Proxmox add-on

2. Ensure each node in the Proxmox cluster has the agent installed if you want to auto-protect migrated VMs

3. For containers, the backend storage must support snapshots

Advanced Security + XDR: Goodbye Unwanted Apps

Ever installed a seemingly harmless app that starts showing ads, slows your system, or even tracks your browsing? That’s a potentially unwanted application (PUA), and the new Acronis version now handles those too.

With advanced security (EDR or XDR) enabled, these threats are automatically covered—no extra configuration needed.

What it does:

1. Detects and blocks PUAs before they become a problem

2. Integrates detections into the EDR incident dashboard for full risk visibility

3. Improves performance by blocking software that hogs resources without delivering value

Acronis RMM: Real Visibility into Microsoft 365

Acronis is making remote management smarter—and if you work with Microsoft 365, you’ll appreciate these updates. The new security posture report offers a clear (and exportable) view of your clients’ status, along with alerts when something strays from the norm.

What’s New?

1. PDF reports on Microsoft 365 security posture
   
   
2. Automatic alerts when there’s a deviation from the security baseline
   
   
3. Export of all M365 users to CSV files—perfect for reports or audits
   
   
4. Visual indicators for sync progress and onboarding of new tenants
   
   
5. More detailed descriptions for each security recommendation to support better decision-making

Key Scenarios Where It Shines:

1. Assessing and improving Microsoft 365 security settings

2. Quickly detecting and responding to unexpected changes

3. Simplifying monitoring and documentation with downloadable reports and exportable data

Automatic Detection and Remote Deployment: Now Compatible with Modern Environments

1. Active Directory-based detection now works correctly with the default settings of Windows Server 2025, which enables LDAP encryption by default.

Backup Validation and Common Error Fixes

1. Backup validation status for backups with many versions is now displayed correctly in all cases.
