Time Explorer: Ability to peruse files and folders in your backups based on – you guessed it – time. Since not everyone reading this will be familiar with True Image, here are a couple of other major features worth mentioning: This version adds the ability to restore to differing hardware (eg: Dell > HP), take advantage of creating WinPE images and also have better support for dynamic disks.

It’s worth noting that True Image 2014 is also available as a “Premium” version (formerly, Plus Pack). While I personally won’t take advantage of the cloud feature given my horrible upload speed, I envy those that will. Like last year, this year’s version focuses mostly on cloud integration, and overall, I’m pleased with what I see. That about sums-up all that’s new with True Image 2014. Even on a fiber optic Internet connection with a great upload speed (30 Mbps = 3.75MB/s), it’s going to pale in comparison to a hard drive or internal network that can save at 100MB/s. It goes without saying that the save will take a lot longer, as mentioned on the last page. Clicking on it will instantly prompt you for your login credentials, and from that point on, capturing an image to the cloud should be just as easy as capturing it to a local disc.
Not pictured in the above image but also new to this boot disc is an “Acronis Cloud” option at the top of the list to the left. While Acronis mostly touts the fact that you can create a nonstop backup that gets stored on a NAS, this is what I’m excited to see:

It seems that the company both expanded the feature, and added better driver support for a wider-variety of NICs (including Intel’s). So here’s the thing: True Image has had a “NAS” option inside of its boot disc before, but it’s never worked for me – on any machine I’ve tried to use it on. Well, unless the intent is to remotely tap that storage for your Acronis backup when booting up into the rescure disc, that is. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as centralized storage, knowing that you’re able to access your data from anywhere in the house. I’ve been using NAS boxes for a number of years, but only over the past year have I begun getting serious about mass storage and keeping backups safe and redundant.
