One of our favorite third-party Windows backup software suites is on sale today at a great price. the PCWorld Software Store sells the standard version of Acronis true image for $45. This is a lifetime license for the 2021 release. This is a great deal, as the software (now called Cyber Protect Home Office) currently sells for the subscription price of $50 per year.
In our review of the premium version of Acronis True Image, we gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editors’ Choice award. We called it “the most complete solution” for Windows backup. It’s also our pick as the best overall backup software.
One big difference between the premium version and this standard version is that it doesn’t come with cloud save. But you can always find out for yourself by using a service like OneDrive or starting your own server. Otherwise, you can just use a bunch of external hard drives to handle backups.
Acronis True Image also contains anti-malware and anti-ransomware features to keep your backups safe. It is really great software and you can get it at an amazing price right now.
