1.1. What is Acronis® True Image Home 2010 Netbook

Edition?

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition is an integrated software suite that ensures security

of all information on your netbook. It can back up the operating system, applications, settings and all

of your data, while also securely destroying any confidential data you no longer need. With this

software, you can back up selected files and folders, Windows applications' settings, settings and

messages of Microsoft e-mail clients — or even the entire disk drive or selected partitions. Acronis

Online Backup will allow you to store your most important files on a remote storage, so they will be

protected even if your computer gets stolen or your house burns down.

Should your disk drive become damaged or your system attacked by a virus or malware, you can

recover the backed up data quickly and easily, eliminating hours or days of work trying to rebuild your

disk drive's data and applications from scratch.

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition provides you with all the essential tools you need to

recover your netbook system should a disaster occur, such as losing data, accidentally deleting critical

files or folders, or a complete hard disk crash. If failures occur that block access to information or

affect system operation, you will be able to recover the system and the lost data easily.

The unique technology developed by Acronis and implemented in Acronis True Image Home 2010

Netbook Edition allows you to perform exact, sector-by-sector disk backups, including all operating

systems, applications and configuration files, software updates, personal settings, and data.

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition helps you protect your identity as well. Simply

deleting old data will not remove it permanently from your computer.

You can store backups on almost any storage device: internal or external hard drives, network drives

or a variety of IDE, SCSI, FireWire (IEEE-1394), USB (1.0, 1.1 and 2.0) and PC Card (formerly called

PCMCIA) removable media drives, as well as CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, BD-R, BD-RE,

magneto-optical, Iomega Zip and Jaz drives.

When performing scheduled backup tasks, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition

automatically selects a backup mode (full, incremental, differential) in accordance with the backup

policy set by the user.

Wizards and a Windows Vista-style interface will make your work easier. Just perform a few simple

steps and let Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition take care of everything else! When a

system problem occurs, the software will get you up and running in no time.
