5.1 What is family data protection?

Family data protection is a unified cross-platform solution that allows you to track and control the

protection status of all computers, smartphones, and tablets sharing the same Acronis account. Since

users of these devices must be signed in to the same account, usually they are members of the same

family. In general, each of them can use this feature, but there is often a family member who is more

experienced in technology than the others. So, it's reasonable to make that person responsible for

protection of the family data.

To track and control the protection status of your family's devices, use the web-based Online

Dashboard, which is accessible from any computer connected to the Internet. With this web

application, your family IT administrator can:

 Control the current statuses of all backups and synchronizations on all family devices running

Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android.

 Add a new device to the list.

 Manually start any backup on any computer.

 Initiate the first complete backup of an unprotected computer to Acronis Cloud.

 Recover data from any backup located in Acronis Cloud, including backups from PCs, Macs, and

devices running iOS and Android.

 Resolve some product-related issues.

5.2 Adding a new device

With Online Dashboard, you can add a new device to the device list.

To add a new device to the device list:

1. On the device that you want to add, open Online Dashboard at: https://cloud.acronis.com.

2. Sign in with your Acronis account.

3. On the Devices tab, click Add device.

4. Download and install Acronis True Image.

5. Start Acronis True Image and sign in to the same Acronis account.

5.3 Backing up any computer

With the web-based Online Dashboard, you can back up any computer (PC or Mac) that shares the

same Acronis account.

If a device is not yet protected, you can back up it by using the default settings. Acronis True Image

2016 will back up the entire contents of the device (for example, an entire PC backup) to Acronis
