All versions of Acronis True Image 2014 include 5 GB of space in a cloud storage, which, of course, is not enough, but if necessary, this space can be expanded for an additional fee.
Changes in the new version of True Image
With regard to the user interface, True Image 2014 is not too different from the 2013 version (although, however, it is so very convenient). When you start the program, the "Getting Started" tab opens, on which there are buttons for quick access to the system backup functions, data recovery and backup to the cloud.
These are only key functions, in fact, their list in Acronis True Image 2014 is significantly wider and access to them can be obtained on the other tabs of the program - "Backup and Recovery", "Synchronization" and "Tools and Utilities" (the number of tools is really impressive) .
It is possible to create a backup for the subsequent restoration of both individual folders and files and a whole disk with all partitions on it, while the backup of the disk can also be saved in the cloud (in True Image 2013 - only files and folders).
To restore in cases where Windows is not loaded, you can activate the "Recovery Recovery" function on the Tools and Utilities tab, followed by pressing F11 after turning on the computer, you can get into the recovery environment, and even better - make a bootable flash drive Acronis True Image 2014 for the same purposes.
Some features True Image 2014
- Working with images in cloud storage facilities - the ability to save configration, files and documents or a complete image image in the cloud.
- Incremental backups (including online) - you do not need to create a complete image of the computer every time, only changes are saved from the moment of creating the last complete image.

- Automatic backup, creating backups on NAS network storage, CDs, GPT disks.
- AES-256 data encryption
- Ability to restore individual files or the entire system
- Access files from iOS and Android mobile devices (you need a free True Image application).
