Bad points

Bad Points

  • Acronis Survival Kit will re-partition the destination drive with the backup if it is undertaken as part of the backup job, and you are not specifically told it will use the backup destination drive, nor given the option to change drives (the Acronis Survival Kit can be created separately from the backup job to a drive of your choice)
  • Tested plan only allows for use on one computer
  • Selection of backup type can be a little confusing
  • Requires a subscription
