Backing up an Instagram account

With Acronis True Image 2019, you can protect your Instagram account from losing your photos and videos by backing up them to secure Acronis Cloud. Your posts are stored in the same order they were published and contain the photo or video, its description, tags, and the number of comments and likes. After uploading to Acronis Cloud, all the content is available from any device any time. You can browse it, view, and download specific posts or all of them at once.
