1.1.1 What is Acronis® True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition?

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition is an integrated software suite that ensures the

security of all of the information on your PC. It can back up the operating system, applications,

settings and all of your data, while also securely destroying any confidential data you no longer need.

With this software, you can back up selected files and folders, settings and messages of Microsoft

e-mail clients — or even the entire disk drive or selected partitions. Acronis Online Backup will allow

you to store your most important files on a remote storage. Your data will be protected even if your

computer is lost, stolen or destroyed.

Should your disk drive become damaged or your system attacked by a virus or malware, you can

recover the backed up data quickly and easily, eliminating hours or days of work trying to rebuild

your disk drive's data and applications from scratch.

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition provides you with all the essential tools 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. If failures occur that block access to information

or affect system operation, you will be able to recover the system and the lost data easily.

The unique technology developed by Acronis and implemented in Acronis True Image Home 2011

Netbook Edition allows you to perform exact, sector-by-sector disk backups. This includes backups of

all operating systems, applications and configuration files, personal settings, and data.

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition helps you protect your identity as well. Simply

deleting old data will not remove it permanently from your computer. Acronis True Image Home

2011 Netbook Edition includes File Shredder that permanently destroys files, as well as the System

Clean-up tool that cleans up your Windows system of all traces of user activity.

You can store backups on almost any PC storage device.

When performing scheduled backups, Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition automatically

selects a backup mode (full, incremental, differential), in accordance with the backup scheme set by

the user.

Windows-style interface and wizards will make your work easier. Just perform a few simple steps and

let Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition take care of everything else! When a system

problem occurs, the software will get you up and running in no time.
