Acronis True Image 10 Home won MAX-IT Editor's Pick

Malfunctioning hardware is always a nightmare; mention a scenario like a fried motherboard and horrific images of years of lost data spring to mind. In comes Acronis with what seems like the perfect solution, an easy to use convenient and affordable PC backup system, introducing the Acronis True Image 10 Home.

Those familiar with previous versions of the previous versions of the Acronis True Image software will have no problems adapting to this version. Much of the interface is similar but redesigned to be more user-friendly.

Acronis True Image 10 Home backs up to FTP servers that still does not accommodate for saving entire programs; rather it will save personal settings for different applications. The list of applications that applies is updated constantly from Acronis' website, which means you might require an internet connection to fully restore certain applications.

One nifty point about Acronis True Image 10 Home is that backing up Outlook and Outlook Express files is comprehensive as it will save your archives, personal folders, address book and user settings too! Backing up other files is simple as the Acronis True Image 10 Home automatically detects different audio, video and image formats and backs them up separately; if your hard disk has low capacity, fear not because you can either create an entire drive or back up files and folders up individually. The backup files can be stored externally on another hard disk or media or even isolated into a separate partition on the original hard disk for safekeeping.

Acronis True Image 10 Home has a Acronis Snap Restore feature that loads the essential files you need when recovering from a crash, while the rest of the system is gradually restored in the background. Other features like Vista compatibility, auto backup scheduling, and the fact that it's very affordable all make the Acronis True Image 10 Home a clear winner.
