Conveniently perform backups and restores with Acronis True Image

A sudden loss of data can have many causes. A defective hard drive, a broken computer, accidental deletion and other mishaps to natural disasters or theft. In such cases, a backup is a lifesaver - if it can be easily restored and is up-to-date. However, making regular backups with the on-board tools of Windows and other operating systems is often cumbersome and insufficient. In particular, restoring often fails - and if the operating system can no longer be started, everything becomes even more complicated.

With a good backup software like Acronis True Image, you can avoid such problems and be well prepared if the worst comes to the worst. In addition, the software offers you extensive protection features to keep your computer (and thus your valuable backup data sets) free from viruses, ransomware and other malware. Decentralized backup options in the cloud and backup from mobile devices with Android and iOS operating systems are also possible.

Acronis True Image Standard or Essentials should not be missing on any computer

Even the basic Acronis True Image Essentials or Standard versions offer a very wide range of features for professional and simple data backup. Make backup plans so that you can regularly show an up-to-date collection of data. Customized options are especially easy to set up via the convenient and intuitive dashboard. If you're buying a PC with Windows 10 or are planning to purchase Microsoft Office 2021 soon, we highly recommend using a powerful backup software like Acronis True Image. Of course, the same is true if you buy Windows 11 or use an Apple running macOS.

Why is ransomware such a big threat to data security?

Ransomware is introduced to computers and servers by criminals in order to extort the owners of the data. In the worst case, the entire contents of your hard drive are encrypted and can no longer be used. If you do not pay a ransom to the extortionists then, the files are lost forever. But apart from the fact that ransom payments are expensive, there is no guarantee that the extortionists will actually release the data afterwards. Importing a backup is often the best solution to get rid of ransomware and not risk data loss.

But of course, this only works if the backup is also free of malware. That is why Acronis True Image has useful protection features that are actually the domain of antivirus programs. In addition, the Acronis True Image Essentials and Standard versions already offer the following security features:

- on-demand virus scanning
- vulnerability analysis of the entire system
- real-time protection against threats from the network
- completion of backups even after an interruption (e.g. shutdown due to low battery)
- decentralized access to backups stored in the cloud
- remote restore via Web Restore tool

The Protection Dashboard facilitates operation and is intuitively designed so that even inexperienced users can quickly get to grips with configuring backups and eventual restores. Older systems in particular benefit from intelligent performance management, where Acronis True Image sensibly balances CPU load with other programs. To be sure that your backup really works, it is important to validate the data sets quickly. Because only working backups give you the security you need.

Back up any number of mobile devices with Acronis True Image

The developers of Acronis True Image take into account the trend that a large part of data is nowadays created, moved or stored using mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. Interaction with such end devices is therefore also important for backup creation. With Acronis True Image, you can manage any number of such mobile devices regardless of the operating system (Android or Apple iOS) and perform backups and data restores even from memory cards.

Especially convenient is the ability to browse the locally stored records of mobile devices on the PC as well. So, if you lose your cell phone, you can access the backed up data from the PC or Mac. Restoring data needs to be as safe as it is easy. That's why Acronis True Image offers the option to make restore media (e.g. USB flash drives). These are used when you can no longer start your computer or other problems prevent recovery via the normal operating system.

Advantages of Acronis True Image Advanced and Premium

In the top versions, the manufacturer offers with Acronis True Image Premium and Advanced, in addition to the proven functionality of the basic versions, additional options for the use of cloud storage. This allows you to store the backup not only on an on-site hard drive or security server, but directly in the cloud. This offers the advantage that you can access the backed up data virtually from anywhere.

If the original computer or hard drive containing the backup is destroyed (e.g. by natural disasters) or the equipment is otherwise lost (e.g. by theft), you can still restore your data if it is stored in the cloud. Cloud storage is included with both Acronis True Image Premium and Advanced versions (5 TB with Premium, 500 GB with Advanced). Of course, the data is encrypted according to the latest security standards and stored securely in the data centers. You gain access through your own passwords, which you can freely define.
