It seems like Black Friday offers are gradually increasing with online deals, despite the fact the latter have their own discount day, Cyber Monday. The point is that online discounts are already available and if you keep your eyes opened, you might run into some serious discounts, even as much as 70%.

Acronis joins the discount frenzy today with an offer of 20% off the Home Edition of its disk imaging software, True Image. Considering that the $59.49 regular price drops to a still pretty high value of $47.59, the 20% off may seem like too little. But, balance this with the features of the application and the benefits it can bring you: backup and restore, file shredder, disk imaging, drive cleanser (which features plenty of sanitizing standards), dual destination backup, archive encryption for safekeeping; plus the new features introduced in the latest version: support for the acclaimed Windows 7, nonstop backup and online backup.

If you are taking this offer, don’t be baffled when you’ll see that Acronis advertises True Image Home Edition 2010 for $49 and at checkout the 20% rebate applies to $59.49, because the advertised price does not include VAT. In order to obtain the drop to$47.59, you have to type in “TWEE20BFATIH2010” code and update the cart. Remember that this offer is available only on the .com Acronis domain. On the .eu domain of the company the application can be purchased for $49.99 and the coupon code is irrelevant. The offer extends all through December 1st and applies for any user that provides the “TWEE20BFATIH2010” coupon code.

Acronis True Image Home 2010 is among the best disk imaging software on the market today, providing a clean and straightforward interface and the possibility to create bootable rescue media disc which allows you to create images and restore them offline. Acronis Secure Zone feature permits creating a special hidden partition where you can store backup images and restore them at computer boot.
