Cloud vs. Backup & Recovery Online

Thread needs solution

I am a relatively new user of Acronis True Image 2014. When I go into my account, I'm offered a 60-day free trial of something called Acronis Backup & Recovery Online. What is the difference between this feature and storing backups in the 5 GB of free cloud storage Acronis provides? I tried to find the answer in various Help files and FAQs, but I didn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks in advance for your help.

With 2014, you can get a subscription that you can use to store your disk and partition backups, as well as your file backups, and syncs. You will get the full storage capacity (250GB) for 60 days.

True Image 2014 and Backup&Recovery Online can't be both installed on the same machine. So if you need to perform backups to local storage using 2014 and do not plan to switch to Backup&Recovery - it's not suitable for you.
Comparison chart can be found here - http://kb.acronis.com/content/17795 (it seems to be outdated as with True Image 2014 bare-metal recovery from cloud is now supported - http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ATIH2014/index.html#25700…)

Pat L, when I clicked on your link, it simply took me to a page telling me about activiating the free 5 GB cloud space that I'm entitled to as a relatively new user of Acronic True Image 2014. It told me nothing about Backup& Recovery, nor about any 250GB storage.

Thanks, Fedor Larin, for your helpful response. I found it a bit odd that after I had logged in to my Acronis account, I was offered a 60-day free trial of what seems to be Backup& Recovery Online. Acronis knows that I already have True Value 2014. Oh well, I confess that I find the number of options and products rather confusing. I guess I won't give them more thought and will just continue to use True Value 2014.
