Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5, Acronis Cyber Protect 15: how to use Physical Data Shipping

What is Physical Data Shipping and when it is needed

Physical Data Shipping is a service which helps you if your Internet connection is too slow to back up large amounts of data or the entire machines to the cloud storage. With this service you can save the first full backup locally and then send it to Acronis for upload. After uploading the initial seeding backup, only the incremental backups to that full backup are uploaded to the cloud.
