In our Acronis Disk Director review, we cover the pricing, features, and interface of this disk cloning and partition management software package.
Acronis Disk Director is one of the best disk cloning software packages available. Its aim is to help you manage computer hard drives, giving you the tools to easily clone and partition hard disks, and recover lost or deleted data. In this Acronis Disk Director review, we’ll cover its plans and pricing, features, interface, and how easy it is to use, giving you all the information you’ll need to determine whether it would suit you or your business. Acronis Disk Director is available for both home and business use. The software actually comes with a free demo version that is not time-limited; the only restriction is that you can only manage volumes up to 10 GB in size. If your drives are larger than that, you need to buy a license per computer. For business use, the cost is the same for each license. For home use, the cost goes down by more than half if you purchase licenses for three computers instead of one: a license for a single computer costs $49.99, but the cost for three computers is only $79.99. Business licenses can either be bought per workstation or server. Workstation licenses are $79.99 each and Server licenses $299.99. Home PC and Business Workstation plans support Windows XP, Vista,7,8, and 10, while Server plans support a wide range of Windows servers, including Windows 2003, Small Business Server, Multipoint Server, and Storage Server. Business plans come with free upgrades and 24/7 online and phone support for one year, but the Home plan only offers online support. Acronis Disk Director’s main functions are disk cloning, volume recovery, and partition management. Disk cloning enables you to copy all your data, operating systems, and programs and their settings from one disk to another. The cloning feature is available for master boot record disks that use the standard BIOS partition table.
