Acronis TrueImage Deluxe 5
Introduction
What is Acronis TrueImage Deluxe
Acronis TrueImage Deluxe is the first title in a new generation of software
for creating exact images of hard disks (and partitions). It will let you store an
image of your disk in an archive file on a hard disk or on one of numerous
removable media, such as Iomega Zip or Jaz, CD-R(W) or DVD-R(W) disc.
Having an exact copy of your hard disk, you will be able to restore its data at
anytime – in case of a system error, virus infection, or even disk malfunction.
With the help of a hard disk image and the Acronis TrueImage Deluxe
software, you will be able to deploy a system on a new PC hard disk, i.e.
install all operatings systems, applications without using installation
disks/discs, and thus avoiding the re-set of all those system and program
parameters.
Having created an exact hard disk image, you can be assured that all your
data, operating systems, and applications (along with all their related
settings!) are safe. In case of an operating system error or a virus attack,
you will be able to easily restore the content of your PC hard disk, having
created its exact image with Acronis TrueImage Deluxe. If you need to
restore only several files, Acronis TrueImage Deluxe will let you connect the
stored file as a logical drive and copy all the files you need from it.
The unique technology developed by Acronis Inc., and used in the TrueImage
Deluxe software, will let you create exact disk images and restore your PC
disk contents under Windows without rebooting.
Acronis TrueImage Deluxe makes image creation and hard disk content
restoration easy for users of any level. Irrespective of their qualification and
PC experience, every user can truly use this software.
The TRUE differences between Acronis TrueImage Deluxe and other back-up
software:
• The opportunity to create images of disks (and partitions), including
system partitions, under Windows, without rebooting your computer. No
other software for storing images of partitions (and disks) in archive files
allows you to perform these functions under Windows!
• The opportunity to restore partitions under Windows (with the except of
system partitions or those containing swap files).
At the point of partition restoration, Acronis TrueImage Deluxe will let you
change its size and location on a disk, as well as its type and file system.
