Acronis True Image 2017
What Does Acronis True Image 2017 Do?
Users can backup their operating systems, files, settings, programs, boot data, and Facebook information to external drives, file storage disks, network sharing locations, and the cloud (cloud backup and storage only available for annual subscribers).
One-time purchasers of Acronis True Image Standard receive the 2017 plan’s local backup and storage service for up to three computers, as well as phone and email support. Users who subscribe to the annual Standard Plan (instead of simply buying a one-time license) get all the features of the one-time purchase, with the added benefits of cloud backup, 50GB of cloud storage, and free upgrades to future new software versions.
Acronis True Image 2017 Premium Plan subscribers can enjoy all the features of the Standard Plans, along with 1TB of cloud storage, premium support, Acronis Active Protection™ ransomware security, Acronis Notary™ file authenticity detection and protection, and Acronis ASign™ for digital signatures and paper trail needs.

While looking for a way to back up my iPhone I found this software and saw not only was it an app but with the PC version you can backup your entire computer! I decided to look into the PC version and was very happy when I saw I could also install it on my MAC. The computer scan was pleasantly fast but the app took a very long time to back up my photos. Recently I’ve bought the full version and i’m very happy my computer is backed up and safe.
This software was great for backing up my MAC. I work from my computer and the files I have on my computer are very very important. Having this software not only ensures my files are safe but it provides a necessary peace of mind.
I make my living and provide for my family with the work i do off my computer. I have very crucial and important files that and if they were ever to be lost I could lose possibly months of work. Having this software and having my clients files backed up gives me one less thing to worry about. I will continue to use this software for years to come.
After looking for a program to back up my computer files I discovered this software. Since it offered a free trial version I deiced to give it a try. It was also interesting to me that they offered a regular true image version and then a cloud true image version which is good for cell phones as well as PCs. The different packages were also interesting to me and made me want to learn more about what this software has to offer. After doing some more research and utilizing the free trial I decided that this was worth my money and purchased the full version.
