Software update: Acronis True Image 2014 build 5560

Acronis has released version 2014 of True Image Home. Acronis True Image is a comprehensive backup utility. This can be of important files on the hard drive, but also as an image of a partition or complete hard drive. New in version 2014 is, among other things, the option to store images in the cloud, which was previously only possible with file backups. Also new is the ability to make an incremental backup to the cloud and the ability to restore individual files from images stored in the cloud. Furthermore, 5GB of cloud storage is now included for free and support for Windows 8 is certified.

Free cloud storage
True Image 2014 now includes 5GB of secure cloud storage. This lets you keep copies of your favorite photos and files online where you can always access them — even from your mobile devices. It also lets you sync and share your files with ease. Because more space? You can always expand it to 250GB.

Disk imaging goes online
Backup and restore your entire system–not just files or folders—to the cloud. The exact configuration of your PC, including your operating system, settings, and applications, can now be saved to Acronis cloud storage (space permitting), and then restored in just one click.

Incremental backup to the cloud
Whether you backup locally or use your cloud storage – there is no more need to run a full-system backup every time. Incremental and differential backups are special modes that only capture changes since your last backup to save storage space and improve speed.

Get just what you need
Restore individual files from disk images in the cloud. With True Image 2014 you can restore an entire disk image from your cloud storage space to recover your entire PC over the Internet, or simply choose a file you need from within a saved disk image and restore it in a snap.

Windows 8 is great
True Image 2014 is fully certified for Windows 8 so it’s ready to go on all the latest PCs. In fact, True Image 2014 works perfectly on all Windows operating systems from Windows XP onward.
