Video Segment Featuring the ACE PC T11 Mini PC

For this Segment we took a look at the latest in Desktop Computers. It’s about going smaller. Mini PC’s have been talked about for years and even Shuttle Computers made smaller form factor PC’s yet they were still a ways from being Mini. Considering the price and power between some of the new smartphones, The Galaxy S20 has more memory you may find in some laptops, 8GB or 12GB! We will see that trend continue.

In the past year we have seen lots of articles about building your own Mini PC’s or buying them from Manufacturers, The Raspberry Pi is a small system that can be built set on Linux with a lot of different configurations. Apple also has had a powerful minicomputer known as the MacMini, like most of the Apple products they are great but also come with a sizeable price tag.

Acronis True Image 2020 Featured on KMSB Fox 11 Segment

Segment highlight the New Acronis True Image 2020

We tend to think of Data as just info that fills our hard drives with documents, music, programs and photos and Video. When we separate the fact that this data means something to us and It is more the gigabytes of info, data is something very important. We have all heard the stories of Hard Drives Crashing, let’s face it, they are not immune from failure. If we lose that precious data, we could lose those memories, those important documents.

Backing up data can be done inexpensively and shouldn’t wait till a drive failure to occur, recovery is far more expensive and far more time consuming that a backup which can run in the background.

Incredible amount of Tools in the Software Interface for True Image 2020 from Acronis

The latest version on Acronis, True Image 2020 is now available. This handy software though does more than just backing up your date. It gives you tools AND options. The program offers an Easy to Use Wizard type driven backup. Users can backup to the cloud with storage available from Acronis and Encrypted for security. This can help protect your Data from Cyber Threats.

Acronis True Image 2020 uses blockchain technology to achieve an enhanced level of security and incorporates Anti Malware Technology to help protect you from backing up affected or infected programs and data. Make your backups at once or incremental, for when changes or files are added. Users can also Backup to a Locally connected drive as well as the Cloud, this is called Automated Dual Protection!

What I am a big fan of as well is the many tools available for your data management. Want to Upgrade your Desktop or Laptop to a Larger Drive? The Disc Clone feature can give you all the steps needed to make this happen. Users can create a recovery drive, If something happens to your drive, install a new drive and recover from the created Image of your drive. The True Image 2020 Licence will also allow you to back up your mobile devices as well. Another Nice feature is to be able to take a hard drive from say an HP Laptop and install to a new Dell laptop, without having to reinstall your programs with a special backup and recovery program.
