A few years ago I had an issue with my wife’s laptop – it ran out of disk space on the installed 160GB hard drive. It was a horrible issue, I know. I eventually went and bought a 500GB hard drive, but my wife didn’t want anything to change after I installed the new hard drive – she is not a fan of technology changes.
In order to ensure that her laptop was the same after the installation of the new hard drive, I decided to clone the information from the original 160GB hard drive onto the new 500GB hard drive. After performing searches online regarding the cloning process I decided on a piece of software called Acronis True Image. The entire process went off without a hitch and the new 500GB hard drive was installed and my wife couldn’t tell the difference – except she could now fill up the hard drive with more data.
A few weeks ago I was asked by Acronis to review their new version of the True Image software aptly named Acronis True Image 2014. Remembering my experience of using their product in the past, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to have a look at what their software could do. After using the software for some time, it immediately became clear the True Image has undergone many changes since the version I used a few years ago.
