Acronis True Image review

Acronis True Image is the most complete package here, which suits people who want one product to handle everything. It creates full image backups of a drive or the whole machine, saves them to internal or external drives or a network share, and on the Advanced and Premium plans also backs up to Acronis data centers. Every plan includes disk cloning and universal restore, which helps when moving to new hardware. The security side adds AI-based ransomware detection, real-time blocking of malicious processes and one-click recovery of files a ransomware attack has touched. A web console shows the status of every protected device. Plans cover 1, 3 or 5 computers, with cloud storage from 50 GB on Advanced up to 10 TB on Premium. The entry Essentials plan has no cloud storage, and from our location the site listed only euro prices, so check the US price before buying.
