This could be due to the fact that so much information needs to be pulled down (and it’d be quicker from its own servers), but it’s a little disappointing nonetheless. Unlike the regular data or entire OS backups, Acronis currently has the Facebook backup feature restricted to its cloud service. Or, it could be that you simply want to keep a backup so that you always have local copies to look through whatever the reason, if you’re a Facebook devout, this feature should prove useful.
In that event, no one can help you – not even Facebook itself will be able to regurgitate the content. If the usefulness of a feature like this doesn’t seem obvious, picture this: Facebook accounts get “hacked into” all of the time, and sometimes, that results in the purging of content. That’s for reasons you’d expect: Acronis now lets you backup everything important on your Facebook account. You might have noticed in the shots above that I had a backup listed with a Facebook logo. It’s not often that a backup will fail, but sometimes it can, and it’d be nice to know about it as soon as possible. While in the example above I’m using Acronis’ Cloud service as the backup location, you can use local or network-attached storage just fine.Īnother nice (but not so obvious) feature is that you can also enable notifications on your backups. Nonetheless, once in, you’ll be greeted to a screen like this one: When doing so, it just gave me information about the account, and how much space in Acronis Cloud I was using nowhere was an option to go to the actual cloud account. I went to Acronis’ homepage and logged in using the “My Account” option up top. This leads me to my first and only complaint about this feature: I wish Acronis’ online services were a bit more streamlined. If you’re at work, or simply out-and-about, you can log into your Acronis account to check up on your backups, edit them, and even force a fresh run.Īccessing these backups is as easy as going to and logging in. With True Image 2017, a great feature that ties into PC backups is the ability to control those backups remotely. As with most aspects of True Image, this feature is very customizable so that you can make the best use of the disk space you have. What makes this really useful is that you can backup the OS incrementally, so if a problem has existed for a few days, you could simply revert to an even older backup. What True Image is able to do is capture all of the bits related to an OS, so that in the event of a disaster, you’ll be able to get back up and running as quickly as possible. That latter point could do with some additional explanation, as backing up an entire OS seems simple on the surface. For those unfamiliar with True Image, it’s a software suite designed to keep your important data backed up, whether we’re talking about photos and documents or an entire operating system.
