Are you afraid of losing some important content you save on your computer? The best thing you can do then is to count on a program specially developed to make backup copies and be able to recover them later. And although many qualify among the best in the segment, we do not doubt that Acronis True Image is one of those that you should consider very much.

Acronis True Image is, as its name indicates, a service that allows the creation and subsequent management of system images of all the contents so that, in that way, we will never lose the ones we are interested in. Thanks to this software, you can save all the elements of your PC, from photos to applications, including video and audio files. In other words, whatever you want.

Operation

Its name is no coincidence since Acronis True Image works as if it were taking a photograph of all the files we want to keep protected so that they are not at risk in case your computer fails or is stolen if it is a laptop. If, unfortunately, you find yourself in that situation, you can always resort to that copy that has been generated, so you will have nothing to fear.

Acronis True Image stands out in its segment for its easy use, considering that you only have to select which disk drives or folders you want to save and then recover them when you consider it appropriate. The whole procedure is very intuitive, which will help novice users, considering that not everyone is used to backups.

Undoubtedly, Acronis True Image has an option that will be of great interest to many users, and it allows us to send the backups we have made to the cloud, so we do not have to have them in physical form. This is an excellent alternative for those who know that later they will want to recover those contents from any PC since it is much easier to access them in the cloud.

Acronis True Image also has features related to creating system boot devices, which we consider a really attractive addition, although we can also find them in Microsoft operating environments. On the other hand, when you want to recover the copies of the images you have made, you don't necessarily have to recover them on the same computer, but you can send them to external devices, etc.

How about the user interface of Acronis True Image? The truth is that we liked it a lot, both of the aesthetic and how functional it is, because navigation from the menus on the left side is very simple. Perhaps the only criticism we could make is that the Spanish translation is not perfect and has some deficiencies or English words that can be annoying.

Keep in mind

Before we finish, we did not want to forget that although we have talked about the free version of Acronis True Image, we also have a paid version, Unlimited, which adds some additional features. We do not recommend that you run to pay for the full version of this application, but we advise you to try your luck with the free one to see how you like it.

And on the other hand, Acronis True Image is fully compatible with Parallels Access. This remote access software can be installed on Android and iPhone, allowing you to manage all these contents remotely.

The best

Regarding the main positive aspects we have found in our experience using Acronis True Image, we undoubtedly highlight more than anything the remote management thanks to supporting Parallels Access. On the other hand, we did not want to fail to mention the possibility of storing backups in the cloud or that it is possible to establish Windows-style boot devices but improved.

The worst

It rarely happens that we analyze an application and have not found enough negative points or at least not of the necessary relevance to mention them in this section. Well, Acronis True Image has the greatness of being one of those utilities, and we have not found major criticisms to make; beyond that, as we mentioned before, some of its functions are only accessible in the paid version.

Evaluation

In summary, Acronis True Image is one of the best alternatives the market currently offers, at least among the free software, if you intend to make backups and manage them to your liking. It is a platform with all the basic features expected in these cases, plus some additional features that are also very attractive, so you might as well try it.
