Acronis True Image combines backup capabilities for files and complete systems. An image can help to restore a computer after a disk problem. You can store locally and also use cloud storage with appropriate subscriptions.

The available security and cloud features vary per package. Create a recovery medium and test if your computer boots it before you need it. An image on the same physical disk as your source does not protect against failure of that drive.

Compare Acronis True Image with alternatives

If you want to restore a complete Windows installation, compare image backups, recovery media and recovery to another drive. Check if your rescue USB sees your storage controller and which features are in the free edition. A successful backup job doesn't prove that your computer can start the recovery medium. With an online backup service, you can compare which computers and external drives are included, how long deleted files are stored and how you get back a lot of data. Storage only says little about recovery ease. Also check the role of your own encryption key and what happens when you lose it.

Our verdict

Acronis True Image is especially interesting if you want to be able to recover a complete system state in addition to single files. The graphic design can make that more accessible than separate technical tools. The package offers a lot, but you don't have to use every additional feature.

First choose your recovery target and storage location and then the subscription. Test if your recovery medium actually sees the drive and backup. This prevents surprises when Windows stops starting. For just a few documents, a simpler backup app can be enough. For a broader recovery strategy, the combination of image and files can be useful.
