One notable addition to 2013 should come as no surprise at all: Windows 8 support. Here, I’m just going to be taking a quick look at what’s explicitly new to 2013. That said, since our review of TIH 2011 covered the bulk of the program in great detail, I highly recommend you read through that first if you are simply interested in all the program can offer. Like most annually-updated software, Acronis True Image doesn’t usually bring a slew of major changes to each release, which means you’re usually safe to go a year or so before committing to an upgrade.
Nothing has changed since then, so if you’re like me and have Linux and Windows installed to the same drive, you can feel rest-assured that the program can handle backing it all up when you go the route of capturing the entire drive. If it didn’t do what it does so well, I’d have to resort to other options that are in no way, in my experience, as reliable and easy-to-use.Īs I mentioned in our review of Acronis True Image Home 2011 (Acronis has dropped ‘Home’ from the 2013 name), one of the biggest reasons I first started exploring the program was that it actually supported backing-up my Linux partitions. I might be making that up for the sake of trying to come off as witty, but the importance of Acronis’ software in my virtual toolbox cannot be understated. Given I ran into some frustrating bottlenecks there, the reaction I had to discovering Acronis was – well, I think I heard the battle-end music from Final Fantasy VI play in my head. Up until then, I had been using solutions such as Norton Ghost for backing-up our benchmarking rigs and also keeping active backups of personal PCs around the house. Thanks to the look I took at Kingston’s SSD Now M bundle in 2009, I came into contact with Acronis’ quality backup software, True Image. Note: If new to Acronis True Image, we recommend you first read our in-depth look at the 2011 version before reading this one.
