Acronis has announced their Acronis True Image 2014 compatibility and certification with Windows 8.1.

This update offers full and incremental backup to local storage and the Acronis Cloud; individual files, folders and data backup; incremental restore from the cloud, and 5 GB of Acronis Cloud storage included for one year.

Acronis say that True Image 2014 is a simple and worry-free way to completely and comprehensively back up your computer’s files and settings through an image backup.

An ‘Image backup’ captures all of your files and information, while also saving your computer’s settings (bookmarks, saved passwords, etc.), providing full-system restoration process if needed.

"We understand the importance and need for complete image backup and recovery protection, that’s why we’ve been working around the clock to update Acronis True Image 2014. As a result, we’re one of the first backup solutions to offer Windows 8.1 certification, maintaining that way our position as the most innovative backup and recovery solution available for consumers today," said Nat Maple, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer business unit, at Acronis. "With Windows 8.1 compatibility, we’re ensuring all users are fully protected."
