Backup Gets Easier And Faster

The defining feature of our era is probably how remarkably convenient, and easy to access, everything is.

These days, it almost seems as if entire portions of our work and personal lives reside on our smartphones, laptops and social media accounts in the form of documents, pictures, videos, and other data. But that also means that we’re more susceptible to having our lives disrupted when our devices fail, or simply when accidents happen.

That’s where Acronis True Image 2017 comes in. The latest version of this consumer backup and recovery software comes equipped with a handful of new features expressly focused on the needs of the modern user. This means things like Facebook account backups and the ability to backup contacts, photos, and other data on your phone directly to your PC. Previously, True Image 2016 only let you back up your phone to the cloud.

The new social media account backup feature is a nice touch, allowing you to back up things like posts on your timeline, liked pages, and most importantly, photos and videos. If you don’t want to back up your profile data, you can keep things leaner by just opting to back up your media library. More business-focused users may find the feature slightly superfluous, but given the number of people that use Facebook as their primary photo library, it’s probably quite a welcome feature.
