This guide outlines how to locate, modify, send, and download backup activity reports from the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud portal.
Acronis allows you to configure email reports that automatically deliver summaries of your backup status, usage trends, and any alerts that require attention. Reports can be sent on demand or scheduled at regular intervals, making it easier to stay informed without logging into the portal each time.
Acronis supports both predefined templates and fully custom reports. Custom reports can include any combination of available dashboard widgets.
NOTE: Note: You must have at least one Protection Plan added to your Acronis tenant before activity reports can be created or scheduled.
You can find a repository of SAU curated Protection Plans here:
