1.1 What is Acronis
®
True Image™ 2015?
Acronis True Image 2015 is an integrated software suite that ensures the security of all of the
information on your PC. It can back up your documents, photos, email, and selected partitions, and
even the entire disk drive, including operating system, applications, settings, and all of your data.
Backups allow you to recover your computer system should a disaster occur, such as losing data,
accidentally deleting critical files or folders, or suffering a complete hard disk crash.
Online Backup allows you to store your files and disks on Acronis Cloud. Your data will be protected
even if your computer is lost, stolen, or destroyed, and your data can be entirely recovered onto a
new device, if needed.
Key features:
Disk backup to a local storage and to Acronis Cloud
File backup to a local storage and to Acronis Cloud
Rescue bootable media
Hard disk cloning
File synchronization
Security and privacy tools
1.2 New in this version
Enhanced backup exclusion settings—Before you start a backup, you can reduce the backup size
by excluding data that does not need to be backed up. Acronis True Image 2015 now allows you
to exclude your local data that is uploaded or synchronized with third-party Cloud services, such
as Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive. This data is already reliably protected and can be easily
downloaded to your computer. Therefore you can exclude it to reduce the backup size and to
speed up the backup process.
Improved user interface—Product usability was improved, based on customer feedback. This
includes a shortcut menu added to the backup list, contextual pop-up messages, and merging the
License and Account sections.
