Data center

When you archive your files to Acronis Cloud, they are uploaded to one of the Acronis data centers
located in different countries. Initially, the data center is defined as the one closest to your location
when you create your Acronis account. Afterwards, your archived files are stored in the same data
center, by default.

We recommend that you set the data center for an archive manually, when you are in a different
country and your default data center is not the closest to your current location. This will significantly
increase the data upload rate.

Note: You cannot change the data center after starting the archiving process.

To select a data center:

1. When configuring the first archiving process, click the Settings icon, and then click Advanced.
2. Select the country that is closest to your current location, and then click OK.
