Acronis® Backup & Recovery 10™ offers features, ease-of-use and functional richness beyond the scope of any competing product on the market. The Acronis advantage centers around patented disk imaging and bare metal restore technologies that manage all backup and disaster recovery activities in Windows and Linux environments.
