What is family data protection?

Family data protection is a unified cross-platform solution that allows you to track and control the protection status of all computers, smartphones, and tablets sharing the same Acronis account. Since users of these devices must be signed in to the same account, usually they are members of the same family. In general, each of them can use this feature, but there is often a family member who is more experienced in technology than the others. So, it's reasonable to make that person responsible for protection of the family data.

To track and control the protection status of your family's devices, use the web-based Online Dashboard, which is accessible from any computer connected to the Internet. With this web application, your family IT administrator can:

• Control the current statuses of all backups and synchronizations on all family devices running Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android.
• Add a new device to the list.
• Manually start any backup on any computer.
• Create new backups of any type (entire machine, file-level, disk-level) on PCs and Macs.
• Change settings of existing backups.
• Recover data from any backup located in Acronis Cloud, including backups from PCs, Macs, and devices running iOS and Android.
• Resolve some product-related issues.
