Data synchronization - With this feature you can keep data identical in two or more synchronized folders, which may be located on different computers, a removable storage device, NAS, etc. You can share photos and videos with your relatives and friends, use the same set of documents to work as a team with your colleagues, or synchronize your files and folders between your home and work computers. With Acronis True Image Home 2012, you can create as many data synchronizations as you like.
Fully integrated online backup - Online backup is now integrated into Acronis True Image Home 2012. This allows you to create an online backup as quickly and easily as a regular file backup. After creation, you will see the online backup in the backups list, along with all other backups. This makes it easier to manage all the operations necessary for your online backup.
Enhanced Acronis Nonstop Backup - Now you can protect the nonstop backup data with a password and can use a remote storage including the Acronis Online storage and NAS. Obsolete nonstop backup versions are automatically deleted according to the cleanup rules you define. This helps you to save the storage space and keep only the backup versions you need.
Full support of GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks and Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) - Operations with GPT disks expand the range of hard drive configurations supported by Acronis True Image Home 2012. GPT is a new hard disk partitioning scheme providing advantages over the old MBR partitioning scheme. It was introduced as a part of the EFI initiative. So now you can back up and recover any files, folders, volumes, partitions and disks. The only condition - your operating system must be able to "see" the hard drive you want to back up.
Improved log - The new log contains much more detailed information concerning operations of Acronis True Image Home 2012 and allows you to track the operation history. A calendar makes navigation through logs much easier.
Deeper integration with Windows 7 - A shortcut menu for the Acronis True Image Home 2012 icon on the Windows taskbar is added. This menu allows you to easily run online backup and Acronis Nonstop Backup. In addition to the ability to back up Windows categories and libraries, now you can recover them the same way - as categories and libraries, and not only as a set of separate files and folders.
Large capacity hard drive support - Now Acronis True Image Home 2012 supports hard drives larger than 2TB even on operating systems that originally do not support such hardware (for example, 32-bit versions of Windows XP). You can use both internal and external (USB) large hard drives.
E-book file category - Along with other file categories such as images, music, etc., now you can use a new category, namely electronic books. The program collects from your computer all files of popular e-book formats and allows you to easily back up and recover them all at once.
