Acronis, a major provider of hybrid cloud data protection, released Acronis True Image 2017, its newest personal backup software.
This iteration combines the existing full image local and cloud backup with new features such as wireless backup for mobile devices to either local Windows computers or the Acronis Cloud. It also allows for an unlimited number of mobile devices and provides complete Facebook account data backups.
“More and more, personal data is living on mobile devices and in social media accounts,” said Serguei Beloussov, Acronis co-founder and CEO. “Acronis True Image 2017 safeguards all data regardless of its location and offers the fastest and simplest backup in the industry.”
Acronis True Image is the fastest personal full image backup and recovery software available, including:
- Backups and recoveries on Windows computers are three to six times faster than competitors when using an external USB 3.0 drive.
- Thirty percent faster on Apple computers than Apple Time Machine.
- Sixty percent faster in common scenarios than previous versions.

As a global partner of the Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 Racing Team, Acronis tested its technology within the demanding environment of this advanced sport. “Instant access to the massive amounts of data we generate every race is crucial for our team to win,” said Scuderia Toro Rosso Team Principal Franz Tost. “Losing data even for a few seconds means losing the race, which is why we depend on Acronis for the most comprehensive backup.”
Acronis True Image 2017 boasts over 50 new features, including:
Wireless mobile device backup to Windows computers: Back up countless iPhones, iPads, and Android mobile devices to a computer at the full speed of the local Wi-Fi network. Any content can be recovered to the same or a different device, even individual photos or a single contact.
Remote backup management: Safeguard all personal computers and assist others in protecting theirs remotely. The data protection status for any computer or mobile device can be monitored in real-time from a touch-friendly online dashboard.
Incremental Facebook backup: All Facebook account data, including photos, videos, contacts, comments, and likes, are automatically backed up. Users are protected against accidental deletions, hacker attacks, application errors, or social network issues that could erase important memories.
Archiving to the cloud or external storage devices: Free up disk space on a Windows or Apple computer by transferring large or infrequently accessed files to an external drive, network-attached storage (NAS) device, network share, or the Acronis Cloud. Archives can be accessed through File Explorer, Finder, or a web browser.
Enhanced NAS: Automatically find and preconfigure available NAS devices on the local network for backup storage. They will automatically reconnect if temporarily unavailable.
Acronis True Image 2017 offers many other new features such as searching within local and cloud backups, encryption for archives, backup comments, Windows Explorer integration, a refreshed touch-friendly interface on iOS and Android devices, and much more.
“It’s not a matter of ‘if’ your computer will crash but ‘when’—and I learned that the hard way,” said Robert Tarver, an Acronis True Image user since 2015. “My hard drive crashed while I was using another vendor’s file and folder backup. A computer repair technician explained that it only saved my data files and not my operating system (OS), program files, or settings. He recommended Acronis for a proper backup. It has saved both my wife’s and my computer. I am very grateful to Acronis for keeping my data safe.”
