More details below from the press release.
Since its founding in Singapore in 2003, Acronis has consistently led innovation in the backup industry.
It was the first company to offer home users real-time disk imaging. It expanded its coverage to include new computing devices like mobile and NAS.
Today, Acronis True Image 2019 is the only home solution that allows users to make full image backups to both local and cloud storage, or lets users clone an active system disk on either a Windows or Mac machine – capabilities that strengthen the user’s control over their data protection and management.
Easy Backup
By adding the ability to create an all-in-one recovery tool on an external hard drive, Acronis True Image 2019 makes restoring a system as easy as plugging in the external drive.
Called the Acronis Survival Kit, it is as comprehensive and flexible in emergencies as a Swiss Army Knife – containing everything a user needs to restore a system from boot media to the system partition and all of their backups.
“How people use data is constantly changing, as are the threats to that data. To create the kind of modern protection users need, our approach is to deliver total cyber protection, blending proven backup with effective security features. The Anniversary Edition of Acronis True Image continues that long-standing commitment,” says John Zanni, President of Acronis.
Creating backups is also easier with new event-based scheduling options, such as automatically backing up when an external USB drive is attached.
For a personal backup solution that already offers tremendous customization, the new trigger-based options provide even more flexibility to users.
While Acronis True Image is known for its ability to let users recover their system to the same or dissimilar hardware, improved WinPE media makes the power of Universal Restore even greater.
The new WinPE builder streamlines media creation by detecting network adapters and configuring network settings so a user can recover their system through an Ethernet connection as well as a Wi-Fi network.
Efficient Operations
Not everyone wants things to be automated, and the new Backup Cleanup utility builds on that desire for data control.
It allows users to free up disk space by manually selecting unnecessary versions of backups and deleting unneeded files – so they can keep what’s needed and wipe what’s not.
Acronis revealed that its artificial intelligence-based anti-ransomware technology – which is integrated into all of its backup solutions – stopped more than 200,000 ransomware attacks on 150,000 customers last year. With current ransoms demanding an average of $522 per attack, that translates to averting more than $104 million in damages.
Some of the enhancements in the 2019 release relate to improving performance rather than adding capabilities.
A new file-to-cloud format, for example, increases the reliability and performance of cloud backups for both Windows and Mac, while adjustments to the program’s interface are designed to make the user experience even more intuitive.
Secure data and devices
Finally, the threat from ransomware isn’t going away, so Acronis True Image 2019 features an improved version of that award-winning ransomware defense.
In addition to protecting the data, files and systems on the local PC or Mac, the updated Acronis Active Protection technology now protects data on network shares and NAS, addressing the increased reliance of these devices in home networks.
