This is an application that allows you to backup and recover data from your computer. It has an attractive and uncluttered interface, which offers quick access to any function.
When you first open the program, it advises you to create a bootable media in case your operating system fails to start. The main window displays the most important features of this tool: “Create backup plan”, “Backup now” and “Recover”. When accessing the backup plan function, the program guides you through the whole operation. You need to select the disk that you want to backup, the location, the backup method, and the plan parameters. In addition, you have the option to save your personal data on your computer or online. This way in case of any system failure you still will be able to recover your data.
The recovery function is also easy to use. All you need to do is to select the previously saved data, the time interval for recovery and the task to perform. The application comes with additional functions that allow the user to customize the recovery process. You can set the tool to validate the backups before recovery or to check file systems after the recovery. The interface provides shortcuts to open various functions such as backup plans and tasks, vaults, disk management, mounted images, alerts and logs.
In conclusion, you'll find this program useful if you want to backup your data to a safe environment or to create and mount images of your operating system. However, the online activation process may cause some difficulties for novice users.
v11.0 [Apr 18, 2011]
- Disaster Recovery and Data Protection in one unified solution;
- Catalog and search capabilities give you granular access to specific data within a backup, so you get the benefits of bare-metal restore and backup in one product;
- The unified platform dovetails seamlessly with Acronis’ granular application recovery modules such as for Microsoft® Exchange Server1 and Microsoft® SQL Server™ 1;
- Integrated tape management improves support for tape and tape autoloaders, allowing you to store, replicate or stage backups to tape – either image, file or application;
- Improved support for virtualized environment;
- Simultaneous backup of multiple virtual machines, even served with the same agent, allows you to shorten the backup window;
- Windows agent for ESX(i), an alternative to ESX(i) virtual appliance, lets you offload backup traffic from ESX(i) hosts to a dedicated Windows machine and achieve real LAN-free backup;
- Load balancing between ESX(i) agents automatically distributes tasks between a number of agents to optimize performance. One virtual appliance or agent may serve as many ESX(i) hosts as required, and more agents may be added when needed.
Hyper-V clusters and CSV support lets you benefit from agent-less virtual-machine backup even in clustered Hyper-V environments;
- Improved Instant Restore™ shortens recovery time by only applying incremental changes and allows for better RPO.
