Full Image Backup

This is probably the most notable feature of the Acronis True Image software. The application is capable of creating a full image replica of your entire disk or any partition with just one click. The image can then be used for fast recovery of the system. It can even back up selected folders or files when you don’t need to backup everything on the system.

All the backup operations run in the background without causing any interruptions to the person currently using the system. It also comes with the backup scheduling option that lets you schedule as many weekly and daily backups as needed. Since the process runs in the background, you won’t even realize when your system backups are created and stored automatically to a predefined secure location. The software enables military-grade AES-256 encryption for all backup files, irrespective of the platform where they are stored.

Powerful Recovery Options

Acronis True Image saves your backup files to your selected storage from where it can be easily restored anytime. The software can recover almost anything, any file or folder, and even the content of a mobile device. It also provides remote backup and restore facility.

Some other powerful recovery options include recovery from multiple sources, recovery of the backup on a new system, partition resizing during recovery, etc. It allows a fast and extensive search of the backups to find and recover only the file that you need now, instead of having to recover the entire backup.

Social Backup and Recovery

This is a unique feature that you are not likely to find in many other backup programs. With Acronis True Image, you no longer have to worry about accidentally losing Facebook data, deletion of photos, etc. The software can automatically back up your Facebook profile and store it to a safe location. Instead of saving the whole news feed every time, it only backs up the changes in the feed and only new photos to save space.

All the backup files are stored in your selected storage media from where they can be recovered to the same or any other Facebook account when needed.
