Acronis True Image provides a complete PC backup and restore system that allows you to create disk images of your hard drive partitions (or selected folder structures) and store them in a secure location. The backup images can include your entire system partition, including Windows with all programs and settings, so that you can restore your computer to a previous state without having to reinstall Windows or any of your programs. Acronis True Image can also perform incremental and differential backups for selected files and folders, thereby adding traditional backup functionality to the disk imaging features. You can continue to use your PC during the disk imaging operation, no system reboot is necessary. The program can also create a Rescue Disc that enables you to restore your computer in case it becomes inaccessible. Other features include integrated CD/DVD burning, disk cloning, scheduled operations, file exclusions, password protected backups, and Acronis Secure Zone, which enables you to safely store your disk images on a protected partition.
