Complete backup & recovery solution for your network & desktop

Pros and Cons

"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."

"Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt."

What is most valuable?

Acronis Backup & Recovery is an award winning software with multiple facilities. The most important thing is that it has an easy GUI based using console. You can schedule the software for a convenient time and data backup will be done automatically with a notification. You can also clone (Image) entire hard disks as well. Different types of backup facilities are available with the software like incremental backup, full backup, and differential backup. Acronic software does not provide only backup and restore facilities, but it also provides sync facilities between different computers on your network. It supports different types of hardware and operating system platforms (Windows & Linux). You can create an online backup outside of your network in a secure way.

What needs improvement?

The installation file consumes 1 GB of space on your hard disk. Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt. System performance slows down while the backup process is running from the network.

What other advice do I have?

It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery. It provides offline and online backup facilities. It’s available for your server and desktop as well.

True Image should be an industry standard

Pros and Cons

"True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand."

Valuable Features:

I've used Norton Ghost before, but switched to True Image almost 4 years ago and never looked back. True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand. I can schedule backups over the network to my dedicated file server or to local machines, and even restore from the network drives!

Room for Improvement:

I can't think of a single one. Maybe it would be better if it was a bit cheaper, but good software is worth every penny.

Other Advice:

I exclusively use Acronis True Image for my Windows backup needs, both in the enterprise and at home. I haven't found a better solution that allows me to interact with a server and schedule automated backups over the network.
