The options are pretty much the same, with three exceptions: The third option on the home screen is “Go To Main Screen”. The third choice allows the user to specifically save emails stored in Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail. The first two features of the “Backup Assistant” are essentially the same two options given to the user under “Acronis One-Click Backup”.

The user is given the choice (both can be selected) to back up the operating system and/or personal data. Shown below is the One-Click Backup option.

The home screen of Acronis True Image 2011 is designed with the novice user in mind, or for those users who simply want to back up their data with one or two clicks. The only thing that was required after the installation was a reboot. However, given the size of the install package (159MB) this is to be expected. The installation went smoothly with no problems, although it wasn’t the quickest installation I’ve encountered. (Taken directly from the developer’s site) Acronis True Image Home 2011 assures that all your important data, including photos, videos, music, documents and applications, are fully protected and can be recovered quickly in the event of any disaster. Supported OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 While other data backup programs are simpler to use, Acronis True Image Home does deliver on quality and reliability. OVERVIEW: Overall this product is rate a buy. People are unsure if their data is being backed up the way they want it. PROS: Acronis True Image is one of the best data backup programs for those that want a full image backupĬONS: A bit confusing for many novice users.
