Acronis, Inc. (www.acronis.com/en-us/), the
technological leader in storage management software, announced that
The Geek Squad®, an operation of Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY),
will now include Acronis True Image and Acronis Disk Director Suite
as part of its toolkit to repair and maintain its customers'
computer systems. The Geek Squad is a 24-hour computer support task
force that assists users in their homes and offices.
Acronis
True Image is disaster
recovery and backup
software that allows users to create an exact duplicate image
of their disk drive. Should the drive become damaged, the operating
system corrupt or files accidentally deleted or overwritten, the
image of the hard disk can be used to restore the disk to its
known, good working state. Acronis
Disk Director Suite includes disk
partitioning, multibooting and
partition recovery tools.
"Being certified by the Geek Squad underscores
Acronis' efforts to make the very best software that absolutely
everyone can use," said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Acronis True
Image is certainly proven to be the best at what it does. This
recognition by the Geek Squad means that not only is it strong
enough for the most industrial-strength disaster recovery
requirements, but it's easy enough to use for any of Best Buy's
customers."
Users who want to purchase Acronis True Image
from Best Buy can do so only from the Geek Squad; the product is
not currently available on Best Buy's retail shelves.
