A lot of changes has taken place for the latest version. If you love ATI 2014, you will love ATI 2015 even more. The latest version comes with a cleaner and better UI. The appearance has improved a lot with more white space, san serif fonts and icons that are simple and easy to understand for a better user experience.

Some functions that are not frequently used in the 2014 version has been removed making it a breeze to use.
The tools menu in ATI 2014 is located at the top bar, in version 2015, Acronis changed the layout to the left sidebar, minimise words and pictorials. The tutorial has been removed from the homepage of the software. It has become so easy to navigate and manoeuvre around the software.
Upon success installation and startup of the software, you will be immediately shown the option to backup your PC to a selected destination. Pretty straight forward with a picture of your PC an arrow pointing to your selected destination. Upon clicking “Selected destination”, three boxes will pop up below and you can choose to backup to a pre-determined destination, Acronis Cloud or your choice of backup destination. Pretty much simple and easy with clean and minimalistic design icons.
