Acronis True Image is a software product produced by Acronis that provides data protection including, backup, archive, access and recovery for Microsoft, OSX, iOS and Android operating systems. As disk imaging software, True Image can restore the previously captured image to another disk, replicating the structure and contents to the new disk, also allowing disk cloning and partition resizing, even if the new disk is of a different capacity. The backups are in a proprietary format which saves using a .tib filename format. Acronis was launched in 2003 and has over 5 million consumers and 500,000 businesses as users.
Several editions of Acronis True Image are available. Acronis True Image Cloud is a subscription-based software plus service offering that allows both local and online backup with unlimited cloud backup, and offers backup for a selection of mobile phones and tablets.Acronis True Image 2016 is the local backup edition of the product. Both editions are available at retail outlets.
Acronis True Image can make two types of backups: file backup and disk backup. Apart from being able to back up select groups of files on a disk, it can create full system images, which are exact snapshots of an entire disk drive sector by sector. The program can back up a system hard drive while the OS is running. Acronis True Image can browse the contents of backups and restore them partially or entirely. It can also mount a disk backup as a virtual disk, thus allowing the user to access them as he would normally do from a real read-only disk.
Although backups can be restored when the system is running, a major purpose of backup is to restore the system when it fails to start. Therefore, Acronis True Image can install Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM), a computer program that helps restore backups at boot time. Additionally, Acronis True Image can create a copy of Acronis Rescue Media, a bootable disk that contains a copy of Acronis True Image and can restore backups to a computer when the contents of the entire computer are lost.
