A Variety of Backup Options
Acronis True Image gives users the option to perform full system, incremental and differential backups. All backup options run in the background using minimal system resources, so it does not interrupt the user's computer usage or necessitate off-hour backups. Navigating backups is simplified by features like Time Explorer, which allows users to preview the contents of the backup before performing a restore. True Image goes beyond most data backup software with the Try & Decide feature, which allows users to download, install and test software, and gives the user the option to keep the changes or revert to a previous state before the recent installation. In addition to these impressive features, True Image includes 5GB of free cloud storage, which can be expanded for a fee. Cloud storage allows users to automatically sync backups across devices and adds an additional layer of data backup protection.
