I ran into a bit of trouble with the installer when I ran it the first time. The trial download for Windows has a size of 600 Megabytes quite heavy.

There are also apps for iOS and Android to back up phone data to computers. More about the differences later on in the review.įirst the basics: Acronis True Image is available for all home versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system that Microsoft supports and Apple Mac OS X 10.11 or higher. Advanced and Premium subscription versions are available for $49.99 and $99.99 per year respectively.

The standard version (one-time purchase) is available for $49.99. There are plenty but I would love to hear from someone that has used similar software and able to do it.True Image 2020 is available as a one-time purchase or subscription. Would love to hear someone is using the software, please do not send me a link to different applications. We are looking for a software that would do the following:Ģ) We do not need to be logged in for it to run (prefer run as a service).ģ) Copy the files and folders as they are, not in a large proprietary file format. We plan to still use Acronis to backup the system recovery state but all the files would be using that software. This way we are assured we can restore the files in case of disaster recovery. We are looking for a way to backup data as 'raw', where the files and folders are copied as they are to another location. Thankfully we were able to get the needed file from another machine. However, since Acronis backs up the machines to a proprietary large file, they did have an instance when they tried to restore, that file was 'corrupt' and the back up was deemed 'unrecoverable'. I am working for a client that heavily uses Acronis to back up the different workstations and local file server.
