Acronis Inc, a company incorporated in Delaware [citation needed], produces hard disk utility software, including disk-imaging backup and recovery, partition management, boot management, and data migration (disk cloning) software. It also develops software for virtualization migration and conversion for purpose of migrating a physical server to a virtual server (such as VMware), or what is also termed P2V. Its best-known product is Acronis True Image, which allows a software image of a computer to be made and which can be reinstalled on the same or another computer (another computer only with additional software Universal Restore purchased separately). Most software is produced in different versions starting at low-priced software for single computers up to versions for companies with many desktop and server computers.
Acronis' headquarters are in Burlington, MA, USA with additional offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Walter Scott, who formerly ran Imceda Corporation until its sale to Quest Software, became CEO in 2005 [1]. Acronis has taken venture funding from New York private equity and venture capital firm Insight Venture Partners[2].
An OEM version of True Image was rebadged as the DiscWizard and MaxBlast utility suites from Seagate/Maxtor.[3] This version is distributed free of charge for use on computers that have at least one Seagate/Maxtor drive.
Boot CD
After installing any Acronis software, the user is presented with an option to create a Boot CD also know as a Boot Disk. This CD can contain all Acronis products that are installed on that PC. A very handy addition to any recovery worker's toolbox of kittens.
