It can also clone your hard drive, making it easy to upgrade to a new one. It create operating system, applications, settings, and personal data, store it on an external hard drive, network storage, free Acronis True Image download, or cloud storage. The software creates backups of an entire computer or selected files and folders, and in the event of data loss, it can restore the computer to its previous state or recover specific files. the main problem is that it slow slow slow, especially compared to FoxClone.Īnd, as you say, you can't retrieve just one file from the image.Acronis True Image is a backup and disaster recovery software application that is available for Windows and MacOS. I have Macrium Reflect, and it is 100% dependable. Some folk on here swear by Macrium Reflect too, I'm yet to try that out but intend to at some point in the future. The Enterprise build of Acronis still fully supports linux and can do that but it's stupidly expensive and overkill for home users. You cannot access and restore individual files or folders from True Image Home to linux partitions in more recent builds.

It can be used for linux but there's a disadvantage compared to Foxclone or Timeshift+Mint Backup.

So while it still does what I need of it, I abhor their current practise of forcing on screen such promotions in fully paid versions of the application. I had to uninstall it because it was riding roughshod over the alert settings and putting large prompts to buy the new version in the middle of my game sessions. I still use True Image Home for my gaming rig (currently 2019 build because of support for specific W10 file system structure changes that my older 2015 build didn't deal with properly) but only boot from the created removable media to run it.
