Upgrading from old versions of True Image
If you already have True Image installed, the new version will simply update it; there is no need to
remove the old version and reinstall the software.
Please keep in mind that the backups created by the later program version may be incompatible with
the previous program versions. Therefore if you roll back Acronis True Image 2015 to an older
version, you likely will have to re-create the backups using the older version. We strongly
recommend that you create new bootable media after each product upgrade.
