Firm develops software that makes image of hard disk
Singapore - Acronis Inc. has launched Acronis True Image 9.0 Home, a consumer retail version of the most advanced offering in its expanding family of award-winning workstation and server disk imaging, backup and disaster recovery software.
The software now offers file-based backup capability to the industry-leading disk-imaging and disaster recovery capabilities, giving the user the option to back up individual files or folders in addition to the complete system backup.
Boot and restore
Another cornerstone exclusive feature is Acronis Snap Restore, which allows the user to boot and restore a non-functional system directly from a backup image. The user can start working on the disk while the image is being restored.
Other additions to the software include, support for differential backups, files exclusion option that lets the user select files to back up, an updated recovery wizard that lets the user select image- or file-based restores, and a wizard for enabling and disabling the Windows System Restore Management program in Windows.
“The necessity of having a reliable backup of your files has never been more imperative,” said Max Tsypliaev, chairman of the board of Acronis. “As multimedia PCs become more entrenched as essential parts of consumers’ leisure time, guaranteeing the accessibility of data and applications are paramount.”
“Being able to perform a full system recovery in minutes rather than hours or days — and being able to do so while the image is still being restored — adds a dimension that no other backup and recovery product can match, providing a comprehensive and cost-effective data and system protection solution,” he said.
“Should a computer get damaged, either by a virus or an environmental cause, the personal data loss could be enormous.
Acronis True Image 9.0 Home makes it easy to create an image of a hard disk — an image that can be transferred over the Internet to a remote server or saved to an external disk that’s normally kept in a bank safe deposit box,” said Stephen Lawton of Acronis. (PR)
