10 Introduction
Opportunities for Acronis TrueImage Deluxe usage
There are several variants of Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software usage:
1.
Creating images of and restoring
your PC
’
s information.
You can use Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software to create images of
separate partitions of your PC hard disk, or the whole drive in an archive
file on another disk or removable media. You can use our software to
regularly create images of your information, applications and your
operating system update.
If new drivers, new applications, or an operating upgrade or change leads
to instability of your PC, you can easily revert back to its previous state. In
the same easy way you will be able to restore your system in case of a
serious error or accidental destruction or deletion of files. The more you
use Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software to create disk images, the higher
the possibility of restoring the newest version of your data, applications,
and operating systems.
Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software can be used not only to restore system in case
of a critical error, but also to
revert the system
back to its previous state. For
example, you may wish to restore after a perfomance falloff or instability caused by
a driver update.
Disk/partition image creation and data restoration from disk/partition
images are the
main function
of Acronis TrueImage Deluxe. However you
may want to use it for other purposes . . .
2.
Deploying the system
on identical PCs (
disk cloning
).
If you have to regularly set-up many identical PCs (install and set-up the
same operating systems and applications), you can utilize the disk-cloning
feature implemented in Acronis TrueImage Deluxe. All you have to do is:
Install and set-up an operating system and applications to a hard disk of
one of identical PCs. Create a disk (system partition) image in an archive
file. Boot the next PC up with a diskette containing Acronis TrueImage
Deluxe, and restore the hard disk contents from the image stored in the
archive file.
If you already have a PC with installed system and applications, you will
be able to clone another in just a few minutes! Create an image of the
first PC
’
s disk on any media (hard disk, CD-RW, DVD-RW), connect it to
the second PC, boot it from Acronis TrueImage Deluxe diskette or CD, and
restore disk contents from the image. You
will
save considerable time and
effort with Acronis TrueImage Deluxe!
