A version obscures the power extraction

I received this version two days ago about the existing customers upgrade and after 12 hours in frustration again replaced with the previous version. The license return without complications was possible.

What awaits a customer when he comes from the previous version and what is a new customer to withhold?

The new version is now the principle of "simplicity" to breaking point.
A total of 18 functions for data backup and disk management were entfernt.Einige these functions are to a large extent been the reasons is to purchase True Image (2014).
Are, for example, tools such as "Capacity Manager for large disks" or "Trim SSD" been more interesting for users with older PCs, so have had to services such as "Try & Decide 'the path of oblivion to tread.

Especially "Try & Decide" was a trademark of True Image. It allowed the hard drive in a mode to operate in any changes such installations were recorded. So new software could be tested without problems. If required all changes have been undone.

The list of lost functions is long;

Acronis Erweiterteter Kapazitätsmananger
Trim SSD
Convert Windows backup to Acronis backup and vice versa
Disk Editor
Boot Sequence Manager
File Shredder
Import and export backup settings
Try & Decide
Email Backup
Make backup files available as drive
Manually deleting backups
Manual association of incremental backups into a new full backup
Naming of backup files
Backup information views on the main screen
Sorting backups by date or type Backup
Windows Explorer Integration

What has been preserved?
Basically, the ability to create a backup and restore from it directly or using boot files and Windows CDs. These skills but also provide standard tools of Windows. Complete restoration of systems can thus also be realized.

What's new?

The interface and menu navigation. This is now fully designed for Windows 8 Metro design and functionality. No right-click for context menu, no icons for quick identification. Only Scripture is using does not follow the Windows settings. The surface has a steady blue color corresponding to the standard blue of Windows 8.
There is no way to change that color. On Windows 7 systems, the application as a foreign body in the design and application works.
A backup can be set up quickly with two large icons now
The "Browser" to select files for backup or objective source for the backup operation, the folders and files is as line drawings. There is no way to sort alphabetically or by creation date.
Icons for file types as they are angezigt under Windows or Acronis in 2014 no longer exist.

On errors and crashes, I'm not one at the current time. Here every new software has always difficulties. However, it is noticeable that the crashes of True Image 2015 happen very often. Most of them are from the new surface causes, so it seems, has been programmed quickly with hot needle to the deadline to comply can.

Conclusion:

It was probably only paid attention in this version that the program really "smart" integrated into the Windows 8 Metro style. The immense number of lost functions can be True Image will appear only as a chic surface for a simple backup that is provided by Windows itself.

Who currently operates True Image 2014 should definitely stay with this version. He or she might otherwise experience a nasty surprise.
