Outbound network traffic in 10.7.0

Does your security policy require that you explicitly enable all outbound internet traffic?

If so, you may need to add firewall configurations in 10.7.0 for your x360Recover devices.

Direct-to-Cloud (D2C):

Direct-to-Cloud bandwidth throttling tips

Since we released Direct-to-Cloud, your most frequent request has been for a means to limit the bandwidth of the agent.

Here are some how-to tips:



Why use local cache with Direct-to-Cloud (D2C)?

The combination of local cache and Direct-to-Cloud (D2C) gives you reliable recovery, simple pricing, and no overages or surprise bills. (While local cache will provide for fast local recovery, it will not act as a full replacement for a local BDR appliance.)

Ask your Axcient rep about joining the D2C local cache beta program, or, if you haven't tried Direct-to-Cloud yet, request a demo


Next D2C Speed demo:
Thursday, May 20th - 12:00pm CDT

Join us for a nine-minute speed demo on Direct-to-Cloud, followed by a six-minute rapid-fire question and answer session. All attendees will automatically be entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

x360Cloud

Billable SKU types

In x360Cloud release 2.57.0, we've started mirroring our billable SKU types with Microsoft billable SKUs.

This includes all of the critical Microsoft applications which x360Cloud protects.

Curious? Review the list of billable SKUs

What does the x360Cloud "onboarding" status mean?

The Onboarding backup status message is applied to x360Cloud accounts when at least one service (such as Calendar or OneDrive) is being initially backed up.

The Onboarding message helps clarify when initial backups are completing normally and should prevent users from being distracted by false alarms related to those initial backups.

Is it spring - yet?

Will this winter ever end?

Axcient's employees are distributed all over the world, and so our teams experience a spectrum of weather conditions, from balmy to -- not so balmy.

As this winter slowly came to an end (maybe?), we collected some photos of Axcient team members, emerging from their long winter hibernation:



And don't forget our team in Smolensk!
