Case Study: Composer William Goldstein achieves 50% drive-space recovery with Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office

Music Tech Pioneer Recovers from Drive Failure with Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office

William Goldstein, an accomplished composer and frequent traveler, relied on Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office to keep complete backups of his music, applications, and systems. When a 2TB Samsung SSD began a slow, insidious failure that gradually consumed roughly 50% of the drive’s free space, Goldstein faced a serious risk to years of work and needed an easy way to recover data and migrate to new hardware.

With help from Acronis’ technical support, Goldstein used Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office to restore a backup image from just before the failure onto a new SSD, recovering all data and freeing up 50% more usable space than remained on the failing drive. The quick, straightforward recovery to dissimilar hardware prevented significant data loss and demonstrated Acronis’ effective backup and restore capabilities.
