Those prices reflect that fact that the Plus and Premium versions are true subscription software-only the restore functions are available if you don’t re-up. The $100-yearly Premium version ups that to 1TB of online storage plus Active Protection, which checks images and the program itself to see if anything has been altered, to fend off ransomware. The $40-yearly Plus version offers 50GB of online storage as well as backup of your Facebook page, phone support, and updates. Those are just the features in the Essential version, which costs $50.

There’s also a one-way (mirroring) function for syncing a folder to a destination, as well as client apps for your mobile devices to keep those backed up. There’s every conceivable backup option: incremental, differential, super flexible scheduling, pre/post operation commands, email notifications, just to name a few. In addition to imaging your system, whole disks, partitions, and groups of files, there’s a boot-time startup recovery option and an optional hidden partition for images. Little time-wasters like this appear throughout the interface.ĭesign oddities or no, True Image 2017 is a titan when it comes to features.

True Image 2017 has an attractive interface that’s relatively easy to use-once you’re familiar with it. Go there for details about competing products and how we tested them.

But backup in the real world isn’t about feature sets. It would be quite easy to simply say that Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation is the best backup program It’s the fastest all-around imaging program we’ve tested, it’s dead reliable, and it sports every imaginable option.
