Acronis True Image 2025 (formerly 'Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office') combines both a full backup suite and comprehensive anti-malware protection.
In terms of its core capabilities, Acronis offers the full gamut of backup options, from individual files to complete drive imaging (with smart incremental and differential options to encourage daily backups without filling your storage), active disk cloning for migrating to faster or bigger hard drives, and support on higher-paid tiers for cloud-hosted backups to give you access to your files from anywhere on any device.
There’s also an Archive option for offloading larger files to the cloud, a Sync tool that works with two PCs with Acronis installed and a host of additional disk-related tools, including system clean-up and drive-scrubbing tools, Acronis Secure Zone (an encrypted partition for storing sensitive files), and Acronis Universal Restore (a tool for migrating all your apps, documents and settings to a new PC).
Acronis True Image is simple to use – a user-friendly frontend packed with lots of wizards and step-by-step guides, with plenty of advanced tuning available to those who want full control over their system.
The Advanced package improves on Essentials by offering you cloud storage (50GB in this instance) to enable you to backup your most important files and data remotely. In addition, you can still backup to local disks, network attached storage or remote destinations via FTP. You can also backup Microsoft 365 data and setup automatic replication.
Includes 1-Device license for either a PC or Mac with a 1-Year subscription and 50GB of cloud storage.
