Acronis True Image Home 2009

Complete and Total Backup of Your Computer!

"... if you're hunting for an extremely thorough backup package, this is the one for you." Laptop Magazine

Think of your computer as a big battleship, cruising along the open waters. Now think of all of the hazards that lurk, unseen, just below the surface of the ocean that we call the internet. These are the minefields and torpedoes that can penetrate your hull and send your entire operation to a watery doom: viruses, corrupt files, bad driver updates, failed hard drives. The worst part? You never see it coming - one day your computer works, the next day, it won't boot. Beep, beep.

You need a plan. Acronis True Image Home 2009 provides this plan, creating a precise copy of your entire hard drive. In the event of catastrophic failure, you can restore everything to the way it was with just a click of the mouse! It's even faster with individual files - say you do something silly like overwrite an important term paper with a blank document (yes, I've been there), with Acronis True Image Home 2009 you can restore that single file and save yourself hours of rewriting! The choice is yours - backup the entire drive, specific files or folders, or everything but specific files and folders.

If you're really paranoid, you can even make a backup of your backup, and keep your backup's backup as a regular file or compressed ZIP or TIB archive file (which, by the way, is fully text searchable). With Acronis True Image Home 2009, you can create simultaneous archives to your hard drive as well as an external USB drive! Your backups can also be stored on a hidden partition, so no one can steal your archive.

Now there's no need to panic when your computer won't boot. Acronis True Image Home 2009 gives you the ability to boot from your backup, just by pressing F11. With its convenient "set and forget" functionality, you only need to set up Acronis True Image Home 2009 once, and you're continuously protected without further ado!
