Overview and History
Acronis started in 2001. Originally they focused on drive partitioning programs, then [url=http://www.montresidole.fr]moncler pas cher[/url] extended their scope into the backup and disaster recovery fields and now cover the whole field of computer protection. Their best selling program: Acronis True Image is intended to archive hard drives, network drives and attached drives. In 2010 they produced Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 for corporate clients.
The Acronis Online backup solution was released in 2010 and can be installed as a standalone application or as part of the Acronis True Image Suite. This is Acronis' first try at the cloud computing world and marks a very big step in keeping your data secure.
Security
Security is military grade: information is stored with 256 AES encryption both [url=http://forum.china168.info/home.php?mod=space&uid=633935][/url] during transfer and when stored in their data centers. There is an option to pick your own encryption key which keeps your information even more protected however if you forget the password you will lose all the information you have backed up. So be sure to use one you can remember!
Backup Features
Acronis Online Backup provides a simple backup scheduling utility. When you have installed the client program, just choose the information you [url=http://www.fm2k11.it]Moncler Outlet[/url] want to archive and then either set a schedule for the data to be backed up or click the 'Back Up Now' button. The client can back up open / in use files but seems not to use 'block level incremental backups' which means that complete files are backed up rather than just the parts of the files that have been altered. The consequence of this is that backups are slower than some other Online Backup providers.
File versioning is active and an unlimited amount of editiond can be stored for up to 45 days. You can also set an exact number of versions to hold.
Restore Features
Restores can be performed from either the desktop software or from the internet site. In either case, you have the functionality to choose which version of a file you would like to restore. Once selected, the file is returned to you as a zip (compressed) file which means you can save it anywhere you wish.
If you have saved files multiple [url=http://www.renaissancedestoiles.fr]christian louboutin chaussures[/url] times in a day, [url=http://www.paolofranco.it/scarpe-hogan/]scarpe hogan[/url] then a scrollbar at the bottom of the client and online portal interfaces show the times of each completed backup and lets you to select these times to restore files from that particular archive.
Control and Analysis
If you use Acronis Online Backup as part of another Acronis Product such as Acronis True Image then Online Backup seamlessly integrates with the parent product and you gain access to all the reporting, logging and controls from the parent program. If you use Acronis Online Backup in standalone mode, then you get no reporting or logging.
Processor throttling can be set to Low, Medium or High and internet usage can be set to any limit you like. Proxy servers are also supported. Backup alerts can be sent to any number of [url=http://www.technick.fr]hollister france[/url] email addresses and you can configure the client to perform pre- and post operations, which can be very useful if for example you want to backup a database to the local drive to allow it to [url=http://www.mquin.com/pjsdoudoune.php]parajumpers pas cher[/url] be included in the online backup.
Interface
The client interface on the standalone version is really simple and displays how much [url=http://www.icar2013.it]Hogan Outlet[/url] of your storage allowance you have used on each of up to 5 machines at a glance. It additionally shows you [url=http://www.montresidole.fr]doudoune moncler pas cher[/url] when the next scheduled backup will start. The internet portal interface is almost identical to the client interface lacking only the backup options.

Conclusion
This is Acronis' first go at an internet backup solution and I think they have done rather well. The point that the service can be standalone or integrated into the existing [url=http://www.piktor.fr/abercrombie-france/]abercrombie france[/url] desktop software is a nice touch and gives flexibility for users. There are a couple of functionality missing from the standalone version, for example reporting and centralized control of all computers within one account. But these will probably come in time.
The only edition of the service provides a generous 250Gb of storage for a very reasonable price and the client can be configured to use as much or as little resource and bandwidth as you need. The interface is clean and straightforward to use and file restoring is quick and reliable.
In conclusion Acronis have made a solid, simple and very reliable online backup solution at a great price which is supported by the Acronis name: A worldwide leader in backup technology. A great option from a [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin[/url] great name.
If you want even more peace of mind, then buy one of their suites , such as Acronis True Image Home and get total PC protection.
