It is an unstable product that nobody should trust. It may be good for BMR, but you better have real backups just in case. The product is buggy, and is not enterprise ready. R&D, support, etc. is out of Russia. There is only a sales office in the US. |

Acronis True Image is a disk imaging and disaster recovery applications program for computers produced by Acronis, similar to Norton Ghost. True Image can create an image of a disk while it is running Microsoft Windows or Linux, or offline, and can restore the image to another disk, resizing partitions if the new disk is of different capacity.
Operation
All operations can be done within the operating system via a simple wizard interface.[1] Bootable rescue media can be created to restore data or create an image without booting the machine from its own hard drive.
The Workstation and Enterprise Server versions allow a software agent to be installed which can be controlled remotely from another machine, enabling centralised management of all operations.
Offline access
True Image can access files within its images in a similar manner to Ghost Explorer. This is done by mounting the image as if it were a disk, in either read-only or read-write mode. Files can be read from and, in read-write mode, written to the image. This allows easier image editing and access compared to Ghost Explorer, but has the disadvantage that all changes must be saved in a new file, and that a virtual device driver has to be installed.[2]
Since version 10 True Image has a Shell extension that allows archives to be viewed as drives in Explorer.
Acronis Universal Restore
Images of computers running Microsoft Windows cannot simply be restored to different hardware as the hardware-dependent Microsoft Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) drivers are embedded within the image; Linux systems do not have this problem.
Universal Restore [3] is an add-on utility for True Image Enterprise Windows versions that replaces the HAL drivers embedded within the image during the recovery process, allowing an image of a machine to be restored to different hardware.
