Acronis True Image (TIB) is a proprietary disk image format developed and maintained by Acronis International GmbH. It is primarily utilized for full system backups, disk cloning, and individual file restoration within the Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office software suite. Although newer iterations of the software have transitioned to the TIBX format, TIB remains widely supported for legacy archive compatibility and features optional AES encryption for securing sensitive backup data.
