Provides instant bare-metal recovery for mission-critical applications
July 27, 2004, South San Francisco, CA
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management
solutions, launched Acronis True Image 8.0, the latest
upgrade to its expanding family of award-winning workstation and
server disk imaging, backup, and bare-metal restore
software. The product allows users to create the exact disk
image of live workstations for a complete file and system backup, providing a
comprehensive and cost-effective protection solution.
New features for the workstation version include
the ability to exclude paging/hibernate files from the disk image
and assign the priority for the disk imaging process in order to
balance the PC's performance between disk imaging and other
applications. In addition, Acronis True Image now includes ability
to verify a disk image before executing the Restore command, and
file-system checking after restoring an image.
In addition to its disk imaging capabilities,
Acronis True Image 8.0 for Workstations incorporates all of the
features required to clone, deploy and upgrade disk drives.
"The necessity of having a reliable backup of
your system has never been more imperative," said Max Tsypliaev,
CEO of Acronis. "As corporate, mission-critical data continues to
migrate to the desktop and multimedia PCs become more entrenched as
essential parts of consumers' leisure time, guaranteeing the
accessibility of data and applications are paramount.
"In addition," he said, "being able to perform a
bare-metal recovery of lost corporate data in minutes rather than
hours or days delivers benefits directly to the company's bottom
line."
"Users have become more dependent on their
computers, and time is a most precious commodity," said Stephen
Lawton, director of marketing. "Creating a smaller, more efficient
image will significantly increase the speed of creating the image,
and eliminating temporary data will significantly decrease the size
of the image. Together," he continued, "these features, along with
more verification processes, further ensure that the images users
create will be exact duplicates of the disks. Also, the images will
be created and restored faster."
Acronis True Image 8.0 is available now. The
suggested list price is $49.99. Users who purchased the previous
version of the software in the past 30 days get a free upgrade to
the current version. More information about the product is
