About this tag
The ot backup tag covers backup and recovery planning for industrial environments running legacy Windows systems. Featured coverage examines Acronis Cyber Protect for OT and its focus on air-gapped plants, limited on-site IT support, and systems such as Windows XP, Windows 7, and Server 2003.

The sources also compare Acronis with Veeam, Rubrik, and Commvault, while noting that the ranking comes from a vendor-authored guide rather than an independent evaluation.
