Incremental backup, scheduling, backup image verification, Acronis Secure Zone® and other features to reduce IT costs, provide the best ROI
South San Francisco, CA, December 10,
2003 Acronis, Inc., a technological leader in storage
management software, today launched Acronis
True Image 7.0, the latest version of its award-winning,
complete disk imaging backup and disaster recovery solution. New
incremental backup, scheduling, image verification, and disk
cloning features provide the most comprehensive and reliable
workstation backup
solution, significantly reducing IT costs.
Another added feature is the Acronis Secure
Zone®, which makes it possible to create a partition on
a primary disk drive and use it as the convenient backup location.
This zone also can be used by those who do not have dedicated
backup storage, such as writeable CD and DVD drives, external hard
disks and the like.
To restore an image to a disk drive, the
software can execute its unique Acronis Startup Recovery Manager,
an application that can boot a computer even if has no operating
system installed. "Acronis not only provides the easiest and most
user-friendly software to create a complete system back-up, but it
also provides the most intuitive software to restore the system,"
said Max Tsypliaev, president of Acronis, Inc.
In addition to its disk imaging capabilities,
Acronis True Image 7.0 now incorporates all of the
features of Acronis Migrate Easy, a hard disk deployment solution.
This includes the ability to clone a disk drive, prepare a disk for
redeployment, and to wipe data from an old drive.
"The greatest benefit any backup software can
provide is the ability to get the entire system working exactly the
way it was before the failure with almost zero downtime," Tsypliaev
added. "The Acronis True Image disk imaging backup approach makes
it possible to restore a system literally in minutes, providing the
most comprehensive data
protection. File-level backups cannot copy open Windows files
and therefore provide an incomplete and ineffective backup."
"Backup and disaster recovery software is as important as antivirus and
other security software," said marketing director Stephen Lawton.
"If you lose your data just once, you'll realize that the value of
a current image of your disk drive is measured in more than just
the dollars and cents of lost business. Restoring a computer
requires that you collect all of your software, registration codes,
patches, updates, licenses and data, and then reconfigure your
system and settings. This is a very time-consuming and
labor-intensive job and can take days to complete. A simple file
backup isn't enough to overcome the anxiety and wasted time
reconfiguring a PC."
The suggested list price for the retail version
of Acronis True Image 7.0 is $49.99. The product also is
available as an electronic software download. The product is
available now from the Acronis Web site and will be available in
retail stores within days. It can be installed on any Windows-based
desktop operating system, including Windows 95 /
98 / 98SE / ME /
2000 Workstation / XP. It also can be used to image
non-Windows operating systems, including all versions of Linux,
Novell Netware and more, by using the boot disk.
