Acronis True Image 2013 vs 2012 - Historical Overview
Archive: this overview describes the named historical release.
Historical version comparison and upgrade considerations.
What carried over from 2012
True Image Home 2012 already combined disk imaging with file synchronization. Synchronization was therefore not a new capability introduced by the 2013 release. Both generations addressed backup and recovery as well as keeping working files in step.
Cloud access in 2013
The 2013 launch emphasized browser and mobile access to cloud-stored files. Its Update 1 documentation also describes Secure Boot improvements. These changes belong to the 2013 generation and its updates, rather than proving that every old backup needs conversion.
Choose recovery media by release
When comparing existing 2012 and 2013 installations, record the application build, installed add-ons and rescue-media version. Preserve an untouched archive and test recovery before removing the older application. Backups created by a newer release should not be assumed readable by the older one.
