3.7. What is Try&Decide™?
The Acronis True Image Home Try&Decide feature allows you to perform potentially dangerous
operations such as software installation or opening e-mail attachments without putting your PC at
risk. It does this by creating essentially a controlled, secure, temporary workspace that is insulated
from the rest of your computer. If the system crashes or your computer stops responding during
these operations, you should revert the system to the previous state by discarding changes made in
the Try&Decide mode. If operations are successful, you have the choice of applying the changes to
the real system. (For more details see Try&Decide (p. 105))

Clean-up
Acronis True Image Home contains utilities for secure destruction of data on an entire hard disk drive,
individual partitions, as well as for erasing individual files and eliminating user system activity traces.

and/or partitions with the help of techniques that meet or exceed most national and state standards.

confidential information.
The File Shredder provides the same capabilities for individual files and folders.
Finally, the System Clean-up wizard ensures elimination of all your activity traces; while working with
a PC, you leave thousands of bytes of evidence showing your actions (records in various system files)
that you don’t even know about. This could include user names and passwords, as well as other
personal information that could be used to steal your identity if it fell into the wrong hands. This
utility wipes them completely from the disk drive.

3.9. Support for Zip format
Now you will be able to retrieve files from backups anywhere without using Acronis True Image
Home, if you choose the zip format instead of the tib format. You can back up files, for example, to a
USB stick and retrieve files from such archives on your notebook at home without installing Acronis
True Image Home, because the most widely used operating systems, namely Microsoft Windows and
Mac OS X have built-in support of the zip file format.

functionality available for the tib format, except password protection and encryption – you can
schedule backups, validate zip backup archives, recover files and folders from zip archives, make
incremental and differential backups, and so on.
