Acronis TrueImage

Introduction

What is Acronis TrueImage

Acronis TrueImage is your ultimate data insurance policy! It takes an exact

image of your hard disk drive or separate partitions for complete backup, and

allows you to restore all of their contents, including operating systems,

programs, personal data and settings. In the event of fatal software or

hardware failure Acronis TrueImage protects your data, even when ordinary

file backup software does not work.

Acronis TrueImage stores disk images on hard and floppy disks, any

recordable CD/DVD media, ZIP®, Jaz® and other removable storage

devices, allowing to protect archives by a password with an extremely easy

Windows XP-like wizard-driven interface.

Acronis' exclusive innovative technology allows to create and restore

complete disk images online in Windows, so you don't have to deal with

annoying reboots to DOS or other systems, even when backing up system

partitions.

Archive File

Acronis TrueImage creates archive files, that is files containing images of

partitions and disks. The images contain both data of partitions and/or disks

and information, allowing you to restore a partition (disk) from the image.

Partition images include all its files and folders, irrespective of their attributes

(hidden, system, etc.), Master Boot Record (MBR), File Allocation Table

(FAT), and a root directory (Root).

Acronis TrueImage software stores only the data sectors of a hard disk in its

partition image.

Acronis TrueImage software creates an archive file with a ’.tib’extension.

The .tib file can contain images of several partitions and/or disks.

An archive file of large disk partitions or several partitions (and disks) can

become quite large. In this case Acronis TrueImage will split the image into

more than one archive volume or archive volume files. Splitting an archive

into separate volumes may also be required for writing to removable media

Create an image of your hard disk in an archive file on any media, be it

another hard disk or CD-R, CD-RW. Install a new disk, boot with a CD (or

diskette) containing Acronis TrueImage, and restore the old disk contents from

the image to a new disk. You can also change disk partition size and location

along with their type and operating system if needed.

The switches can be set with the mouse or keyboard.

Each dialog box contains detailed text comments for the dialog’s purpose and

switches (control elements) as well as for each switch state.
