On the client PC side, LenovoEMC px NAS appliances include three licenses of Arconis True Image Lite 2013 to provide protection for Windows PCs.
The Acronis backup engine resides on the NAS in order to provide automated and incremental backup from the NAS to a network storage target, which according to LenovoEMC will compete on reliability and speed with existing options built from open source file copying tools.
