New User Interface, Certified and Integrated with Windows 7,
Enhanced Feature Set
Woburn, MA August 24, 2010 - Acronis®, a leading provider of easy-to-use
backup, recovery and security solutions for physical, virtual and
cloud environments, is today launching Acronis True
Image Home 2011, the latest version of its multiple
award-winning consumer backup and recovery software.
Acronis True Image Home 2011 is designed to make backing up and
recovering files, folders, email, Windows® 7 libraries,
or even a user's complete system easier than before. The simple and
intuitive interface will allow novice users to perform advanced
backup and recovery tasks. Acronis True Image Home 2011 introduces
a redesigned Graphical User Interface designed to scale to the
needs of both novices and advanced users alike. It also includes a
new Drag and Drop shortcut feature to quickly move a backup task to
the desktop.
Features including wizards and One-Click protection help users
configure the best backup and restore option for their needs,
simplifying protection of important files. The new version is
integrated with Windows 7 and can run off the control panel, so
users can access their backups and update them with less effort.
Plus, they can also launch Acronis backups from the Windows 7
taskbar.
Acronis True Image Home 2011 includes near continuous data
protection for around-the-clock full-system protection and an
online backup option. Acronis protects users with a single
application to manage all backup and recovery tasks, whether
creating full images of hard drives or saving specific files and
folders online. Acronis Online Backup is an automatic, simple and
secure way to back up files via the Internet.
"I really like the new interface," said Mario Martinez, a beta
tester from Sunrise, Florida. "Acronis never disappoints me. Each
year, there is something new. It is really cool to see the new
features."
Acronis is also launching a new version of its Acronis True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack solution which
allows a user to restore to dissimilar hardware (another make or
model of a PC or laptop) so if they do not have identical standby
hardware they can still restore the data quickly.
"With almost a decade's worth of experience in developing this
software, and customer feedback from thousands of users worldwide,
we are confident that we have one of the most comprehensive
solutions on the market," explains Jason Donahue,
CEO of Acronis. "What we've really tried to focus on with this
release is a new interface with additional features which make the
software even easier to use."
Other new or improved features in the product include:
- Acronis Nonstop Backup - Automatically creates incremental backups every five minutes. This feature has been expanded to support Acronis Secure Zone®, enabling users to recover on the fly, wherever they are, to any point in time, from a secure partition on their hard drive, even if their operating system has failed. This function is especially desirable for notebook users with a single hard disk drive.
- Time Explorer - An easy way to view and manage backup files from a single screen, annotate backup comments and review screenshots that show the state of the desktop at the moment of the backup.
- Predefined backup schemes - Users can select from different backup schemes for disk and file type backups. The program automatically manages the backups from a disk space-efficient scheme suitable for users with limited backup storage capabilities to a scheme for those users who need higher security for their data and system. In addition, users can create a custom backup scheme to suit their needs.
- Check points - The Acronis Backup Explorer timeline shows Windows and software installation and update dates. This feature has been enhanced to see directly from Windows explorer what previous versions of a file are available and to recover from there.
- USB 3.0 support - Acronis True Image Home supports the new USB 3.0 standard. For motherboards that work with USB 3.0 hard disk drives, users can take advantage of the high data transfer speed offered by the new standard to make backups run faster.
