Acronis True Image is beneficial in a number of ways.

First, it provides you with the ability to backup your entire hard drive as an image which gives you the security in knowing that if your hard drive fails, you can get your computer back up with all applications and data on a new hard drive very fast!

Second, Acronis True Image provides you with a way to create virtual disks which give you the convenience of being able to run multiple virtual computers on one computer if you like.

Third, True Image allows you to backup only the files you wish to backup providing optimum flexibility in your choice of what is most important to backup.

Fourth, True Image provides maximum computer flexibility by allowing you to restore your backups to a different computer with a totally different configuration.  You are free to choose a new computer without being bound to the same computer configuration plus the convenience of not having to reinstall all of those applications!

Fifth, from a data recovery perspective, you should always do your data recovery from an image of the hard drive. True Image can create that image so that you can work on it.
