You've accumulated a lifetime of work, important memories and key data on
your home PC in addition to important personal documents, such as your tax and
financial information, not to mention all the software applications you
installed and unique settings for each family member that took countless hours
to setup.
Are you adequately protected, ensuring that you can recover your precious data
and countless hours of custom configurations in case your PC fails?
Acronis True Image Home is a disk imaging backup option that enables you to
create an image of your entire hard disk drive, including the operating system,
applications, user settings, and all data.
The latest version of Acronis True Image 10.0 Home offers two options for
backups and restores. The original disk imaging backup option enables users to
create an image of their entire hard disk drive, including the operating system,
applications, user settings, and all data. They can use the image to restore
their PC to a known working state without any reinstallation.
The new application-based file backup option enables the software to backup
and restore individual files that match pre-defined file extensions for music,
videos, photographs, finance, email and other applications.
Other new features within the new Acronis True Image 10.0 Home include:
• Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express Backup — Ability to do dedicated
backups of an entire Outlook installation, as well as specific backups of
calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, signatures, news folders, e-mail rules and
user settings
• Application Backup — Ability to back up settings from specific
applications, including browsers, business and productivity tools, developer
tools, Instant Messenger settings and history, Windows settings, and much, much
more
• Backup Rules — Users can now create rules that define how long stored
images will be saved, location size quotas, and the maximum number of backups
saved
• Backup Policies — Users can set policies that define when the system will
create full backups only, full backups with incremental backups, and full
backups with differential backups
• Password Protection for Secure Zone — Provides extra security for laptops
and other remote devices should they be hacked or stolen, yet still guarantees
that the computer can self start in case of a crash or loss of data
• Backup Notifications — Acronis True Image can notify a user using
Microsoft’s WinPopup service or e-mail when a backup or restore operation is
completed
