ACRONIS BACKUP
FOR PC
Gartner cites that hardware failure effects one in four PCs every year. When a computer crashes, users cannot work and data can
be permanently lost. Is your data protected? Acronis Backup for PC lets you restore an entire system in minutes and get back to
work. Powered by the Acronis AnyData Engine, it is the most effective solution for complete PC protection, combining easy-touse tools with unique backup technology to provide the fastest, easiest recovery available.
The Acronis AnyData Engine leverages Acronis patented disk-imaging technology to let you create image-based backups of
your PCs including the operating systems, applications, configurations, and data and later recover the image to the same or
dissimilar hardware. Without IT support or extensive training, users can restore files, folders, and applications from portable
hard drives, USB thumb drives, a special area on the hard drive called Acronis Secure Zone, and even from the Acronis Cloud
to any location in record time.
