1.1 What is Acronis True Image Online?
Acronis True Image Online is an application that allows you to use Acronis Online service for
safeguarding your most important files.
Acronis True Image Online allows you to save important files to a secure remote location and recover
them when the need arises. Because files are stored on a remote storage, they are protected even if
your computer gets stolen or your house burns down. So the risk of data loss as a result of fire, theft,
or other natural disasters is practically eliminated. If something happens to your backup image, PC,
or external storage device, you can get your most important files back. If your computer crashes, you
can recover your files back to your PC or another system that has Acronis True Image Online or
Acronis True Image Home 2011 installed on it.
In addition, you can recover your data from Acronis Online Storage on any computer with a Web
browser without the necessity of installing Acronis True Image Online or Acronis True Image Home
2011. Simply go to the Acronis True Image Online Web site using this link

information page opens, click Recover my data now. After the Acronis Online Storage page opens,
select the computer from which you backed up the files you need to recover and then download the
