Legend:

  • YES - Compatible
  • NO - Incompatible
  • NA - Compatibility is not guaranteed

(!) Acronis does not guarantee forward compatibility. Backups created with a newer build/version of the product may not be supported by older builds/versions. For example, restoring a backup created with Acronis True Image Build 8163 may fail with Acronis True Image Build 8076, or restoring a backup created with Acronis True Image Home 2011 may fail with Acronis True Image Home 2010.

(!) Acronis guarantees backup compatibility for different Acronis backup products within the same version. E.g. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Server for Linux will work with backups created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Workstation.

*Acronis Snap Deploy works only with images of the whole hard disk.
