Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Backup Gateway Licensing
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure offers a feature to Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 customers called the backup gateway. This allows for the connection of 3rd party clouds like Amazon S3, Azure Blob and Wasabi. For more information see the product page here or the getting started guide here.
When installing and configuring the backup gateway(ABGW) a 1TB trial license is included. The 1TB license works like so: when a backup or replication plan puts data on the gateway to move to the 3rd party cloud, this goes against the license. Once the data is fully uploaded and moved off the gateway that usage against the 1TB license is released.
If the intent is to only use the ABGW to serve as the middle person between the backup agent and the backup location, the customer should consider a ABGW paid license if they feel they will have more than 1TB of files pending upload to the location at any given time.
Maintenance and support for the ABGW under the trial license is provided when there is an Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 license with active maintenance and support.
