While the interface is True Image 2015’s most salient improvement, there are also some internal additions and refinements. This is a mainstay feature for “easy-to-use” backup products that’s saved more than one user’s bacon. Missing in action, but hopefully next up on the True Image road map is automatic selection of important data, i.e. Note that if you have a lot of drives attached to your system, the program might not appear right away, as it enumerates them without providing any visual feedback. The program sports many ease-of-use features, such as automatically scanning the drives on your system for existing backups. The only minor gap in said logic was the grouping of backup and recovery actions under the single heading of “backup.” Most users think of these as separate tasks and start the program to do one or the other. It’s handsomely styled à la Windows 8 and logically laid out. Maiden-version bugs aside, the new interface looks and feels great. Selecting data to back up is much simpler that with previous iterations of True Image. Based on past experience with Acronis, the issues will be resolved once the company is convinced they exist. The update function and license functions were ersatz as well, although this could have been due to the multiple builds I needed to install. Acronis fixed the first two issues by the time this went to press, but the latter remained in the release version. Acronis has been busy.Īcronis True Image 2015’s interface is miles better than the company’s previous efforts.Īs for the wrinkles: Initially the scroll bars required for mouse use didn’t appear (some are hidden, à la the Mac), were too small, or were non-functional due to overlapping the resize border on the right-hand side of its windows.
In related news, True Image is now also available for the Mac. Or at least it should be once they iron out a few more wrinkles. Well, dye my hair red and call me Bozo, Acronis True Image 2015 is now, get this-easy to use. Having reviewed Acronis’s True Image backup solution multiple times over the last decade or so, I’d given up hope that it would ever sport anything that even approximated a friendly user interface.
