Finally, you also have the standard option of choosing individual files and folders or just imaging the entire drive for the ultimate in data protection – a feature that still isn’t universal among standalone backup utilities.Īll the rest is still present from version 9, so if you’re familiar with the ins and outs you’ll have no difficulty adapting. Outlook and Outlook Express are dealt with separately from the rest it will save your archives, personal folders and user settings, as well as your Windows Address Book if you have one.Īcronis has caught up with the consumer-focused competition by making it simple to select all your music, videos and pictures for quick backup.
While True Image 10 hasn’t achieved the Holy Grail of saving entire programs, it will store all your personal settings from a hefty list of applications in 14 wide-ranging categories. It can also be set to run at logon, logoff, startup or shutdown, and this can be refined to once a day for PCs with multiple users.īacking up directly to an FTP server is now a useful option, as is application integration. Scheduling also occurs here, with options for daily, weekly, monthly or one-off backups. The active backup tasks now have their own pane, along with all the tools for creating, running and editing them. The left-hand menu has been expanded to include common options, complete with a separate Help panel. In their place, we get more sensible everyday choices. The latter tasks have also been renamed: you now “mount” rather than “plug” an image. Realising tasks such as cloning disks and manipulating images are seldom used by less experienced users, they’ve been relegated to the side menu.
Acronis has clearly listened to feedback and tweaked the user interface to focus on the options most people will need. There’s no immediate visual difference in this version compared to the last, and the changes under the hood are fairly minimal too – thankfully, however, they’re all very worthwhile.
