Acronis falls back to using sector-by-sector copy when a non-supported filesystem is backed up. The software can create full disk backup archives of several file systems including: NTFS (Windows) FAT32 (Windows 9x and removable media) Macintoish systems ( HFS+ and APFS) and Linux systems ( ext2, ext3, ext4 ReiserFS, and Linux Swap). Features Backup Īcronis can create two types of backup archives: (1) file backups (which consist of user-specified files and directories (but not the metadata of the disk or partition)) and (2) full system images (which consist of files, directories and disk metadata).


The software is used by technicians to deploy operating systems to computers and by academics to help restore computers following analysis of how viruses infect computers. Since 2020, Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office includes malware and Zoom protection (though the ability to use such features depends on the subscription purchased).
