For those unaware of the backup options encompassed by True Image Home 2011, the application can be used to create sector-by-sector copies of entire drives and even entire disks. The result is one image that can be easily restored.

Backup and restore operations can be initiated both online and offline (by creating a bootable rescue media, which can be a disc or a removable storage device). The latter option can be used to restore a backup copy on a system that no longer boots.

The set of options available in Acronis True Image Home extend way beyond the simple tasks of snapping an image of the system and restoring it. Through “Try and Decide” component the application lets you create a controlled temporary workspace without having to install virtualization solutions.

When in “Try and Decide” mode you can perform various operations without any fear of damaging your system as you can discard all the changes with a reboot.

The extensive set of features available in the application includes secure destruction of data on the disk; convert Windows backups to Acronis format and vice-versa, mount Acronis images as virtual drives. A very useful option is the Startup Recovery Manager which allows you to load the software at boot time and thus restore backup images if you’re in need of a fresh copy of Windows.

The 65% price drop is available only today through Softpedia by typing the SOFTPEDIA65” discount code at checkout. If you miss this opportunity you can get the application 30% off until the end of the year. For more offers, head to our discounts page.
