Acronis True Image Advanced – Backup with speed, depth and cloud

Why Advanced?
When an update fails, malware strikes or an SSD dies, time to recovery matters. Acronis True Image Advanced combines full system images with flexible file backups and a secure cloud, so you’re protected locally or online. Scheduled backups run in the background while you continue working—versioning lets you roll back to any point in time.

Solid foundation for reliable backups

• Image backups & cloning: capture complete machine states for bare-metal restore and hardware migration.
• Incremental & differential: back up only changes—saving time and storage.
• Rescue media: bootable USB/ISO for recovery even if the OS won’t start.
• Validation & notifications: verify backups and receive results via email/app.

In daily use, Advanced convinces with clear wizards and sensible defaults. Pick source, destination (external drive, NAS, cloud backup), and a schedule—done. Backup schemes (e.g., grandfather-father-son) keep large archives tidy; exclusion rules save space by skipping temp folders and caches.

Security & privacy first
Acronis encrypts your backups end-to-end with your passphrase; without it, data is unreadable. Ransomware protection monitors malicious encryption attempts in real time and can roll back affected files to the last clean state. You get dependable ransomware protection paired with robust restore paths—local or from the cloud.

Workflows that really save time

• System migration: image the old drive, clone to a new SSD, keep working—perfect for upgrades.
• Project mode: run daily incrementals during intense phases; archive to the cloud after completion.
• Hybrid strategy: fast local restores + weekly offsite cloud backups for worst-case resilience.

Practical benefits

• Backup software for Windows and mac in one tool, incl. NAS/USB & cloud
• Fast restores of single files or entire systems
• Protection from ransomware via active defence and versioning
• Clear logs, email reports and optional auto-cleanup of old versions

Tips to get started
Create a full image to an external drive first. Then schedule daily incrementals and enable cloud replication for critical folders (Documents, Pictures, Projects). Test the rescue media once: boot it and walk through a dry-run restore preview—so you’ll know exactly what to do when it counts.

To sum up
Acronis True Image Advanced hits the sweet spot of comfort and depth: powerful system images, efficient incrementals, flexible destinations (local & cloud) and strong security with encryption and ransomware defence. If you want a streamlined, reliable cloud backup and fast restores, this is an excellent choice.
