Acronis True Image Home 2009 ensures the safety of digital files, photos and music
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 8 December 2008, UK
- PC World Britain's largest specialist chain of computing
superstores has signed an agreement with Acronis to distribute the
vendor's backup and recovery solutions aimed at protecting
consumers' PCs and laptops.
Acronis True Image Home 2009 is the vendor's latest version of
its True Image Home disk imaging and backup software for home
users. It protects users' PCs and allows them to recover quickly
from the impact of threats such as viruses, unstable software
downloads and failed hard drives.
Kevin Moreau, general manager UK and Ireland comments, "The
files, photos and music which people keep on their home PCs and
laptops are now considerably more valuable than the systems which
they are stored on. But sometimes their systems aren't in working
order which can lead to hardware failure. By working in partnership
with PC World we will allow consumers to buy our products off the
shelf, safeguarding their valuable files from corruption and
allowing them to protect their entire system."
Acronis True Image Home provides both full image and file-based
backups. Image-based backups take a snapshot of an entire machine -
including programs and the operating system - which can be restored
in the event of a hard drive crash or full operating system
failure. With file-based backups, users can select specific files
and folders to protect.
Peter Duncombe, Trading Director at PC World comments, "Acronis
offers a tried and tested technology which ensures the safety of
customers' precious digital assets. Its solutions provide
customers' with easy to use and reliable technology, perfect for
protecting their home PCs and laptops. We are delighted to be able
to offer it to our customers."
