If failures occur that block access to your files or affect the system operations, you will be able to restore the OS and the lost data easily from the image.īoth utilities are available in the WD Software & Downloads. This utility provides you with all the essential tools you need to recover your computer system should a disaster occur, such as losing data, accidentally deleting critical files or folders, or a complete HDD crash. The Acronis True Image WD Edition on the other hand, can clone drives, backup the operating system, applications, settings and all of your data, while also securely wiping any confidential data you no longer need. Acronis True Image Home 10.0 crashes at end of backup with Sony Digital Voice Editor 3.2.0. However, the SmartWare software doesn't allow you to do any sort of system image backup, it's an automatic backup software for your data only. After installing the Sony software, I ran my usual backup with Acronis and just at the very end of the backup, my machine blue-screened. Other times where during backups while I was also using the computer. My computer runs without any issues at all - except when I run (or try to run and use) Acronis TI 2015. One time was when I just simply pushed the view log button in the setting section of True Image. You can also choose to do a category or a file & folder backup. Since then my computer has crashed 6 times as a result of True Image 2013. The WD SmartWare Pro allows you to do continuous or scheduled backups and it's also compatible with Dropbox for cloud backup.

Both software programs are offered by us because they have different features.
