Acronis is an American company leader in the backup software industry. Recently the company has entered the flourishing branch of cloud solutions with True Image Cloud 2016 . This program extends the supply capabilities of the company, which not only can backup between local devices, but also directly on the Acronis server. The software completely automates this, so that all the files of interest can be copied to a location that guarantees a level of security in more without user intervention. The data is in fact preserved even if, unfortunately, should break the hard disk or a ransomware were to take hold in your PC. In practice, the risk of loss of your files is deleted and the user can feel more comfortable. Acronis True Image 2016 also provides additional tools that help in the management and protection of their data.
Interface and functionality
The installer program is downloaded from the official website and it weighs about 404 MB. Installation was pretty fast on our test computer (Intel Core i7-4770K, 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD), and did not need more than two minutes. At first start prompted the account with which to associate the software and once logged you reach the main screen, which boasts clean and intuitive interface . The dominant color is blue, typical of American society.
On the left there are six different sections, which provide access to all services of True Image 2016. “Backup” is the part of the selected program home page, and it is that which in fact constitutes the core of the Acronis : from here it is possible to conveniently back up to the cloud or on any local device. By clicking on “Change Destination” you can choose to copy your files, and you can also, if necessary Encrypt to get a degree of extra security. In our case it was possible to save files on the Acronis cloud (among other things with unlimited space), on an external drive or on a lease at will. The backup can also be programmed, and the software is so concerned with maintain it with user-defined schedules. The latter can be notified, even on your mailbox, when the operation is complete. “Archive” provides a function that is useful for preserving the cloud exclusively large files. In this circumstance, the hard disk is first analyzed, is provided as output an ordered list based on the weight of the files and then you can decide autonomously which of the copy to the cloud. The third section, called “Control Panel”, does nothing but direct the user on the Acronis website to manage all the files stored on its servers. “Synchronize” also allows you to synchronize your data on all devices: the company has made available application for smartphones and tablets that allows the user to access their files on the move. In “Tools” We can find no useful tools like the Clone Disk, which creates an image of the operating system, data and applications, and saves it to a support at our option, or as Rescue Media Builder, which allows you to produce a recovery media to be used if the computer does not start anymore. Another peculiarity is Parallel Access, which grants the ability to take possession of your PC from your smartphone or tablet. The other two sections are useful to update the version of the software, to renew your subscription or to refer to the help of the program.
