• "Don't fear system crashes"

Acronis True Image remains one of the most user-friendly and powerful applications in its class. Unlike most other disk-image utilities, you can perform all the tasks without exiting Windows. However, if your system can't boot, Acronis True Image can be launched from a CD or a disk. A scheduler and an incremental method (saving only sectors changed since the last backup) minimize the fuss of backing up your system so you can perform it every day. Another great feature, Secure Storage, lets you make images inaccessible from Windows so they can't be damaged. The program works at a decent speed, 1GB in five minutes, and doesn't considerably affect system speed. Acronis True Image supports all features necessary to a home user: compression, password protection, the ability to split an image into several volumes, and the ability to move your system to another hard drive. This new version offers an option that lets you specify which files and folders you'd like to archive. You can browse images as if they were usual hard drives and extract only necessary files. The program's wizard-based instructive interface suits inexperienced users. Acronis True Image doesn't offer professional features, such as installing an image on multiple PCs at once, but we consider it a must-have for home users who want to safeguard their systems.

  "I can't use it but a friend bought it and,"

  by Charles K on April 16, 2008

  Pros: I can't use it. When I tried it was next to impossible to install on Vista big time slow, not at all user friendly and blue screened my XP Pro system. A friend bought it and it blue screened his Vista Home Premium system too. It turned out to be a real disaster. There are other options and one in particular thats simple and effective. I'm a backup junkie but this is a program I can't recommend at all.

  Cons: Sorry, but I'm trying to cover this backup / drive clone thing i one place. Guess this takes more savvy then this old man has to use this program successfully. Farstone Technology's Drive Clone Pro is also slow and requires it's own storage spot. It prompts that all other data on the target drive will be lost. But (and I'm not one that likes Norton) Norton Ghost v12 and up is amazing. If you look at my reviews, you will see that "amazing" is a term I've never before used.

  I broke down and came off the cash to buy one after i watched it work once. And I can't say how pleased I am with it. Just watching it work is a real eye opener. Not only is it simple to use, it's easy to configure and get along with. It paths to the external hard drive on its own ( by default ) and one license installed on all three of our systems. Plus, the computer can be booted from the CD for disaster recovery.

  "Will NOT install without errors & my data corruption"

  by Fred Brychta on April 26, 2008

  Pros: Backup before trying to install this software

  Cons: Tried to install but it gave me a BSOD on my WinXP Pro & corrupted pieces of the Registry. Had to go back to the previous restore point & lost some data. Wasted about 2 days with this "software". This program should be classed as malware!!!

  "Hung on first use"

  by Walter Plinge on June 30, 2008

  Pros: Did get a chance to find anything nice.

  Cons: Installed trial version on new Vista PC. It hung 38% into the first backup and nothing I could do could persuade it to budge or start a new backup. I started again and it went straight to 38% and stayed there. I have now deleted the program and will look for something else to repalce Vista built-in backup program (which is not sufficiently customisable for me).

  "Did exactly what I wanted"

  by Illuminaughty on June 9, 2008

  Pros: I had 2 IDE drives that were slow, loud, and about to die.

  I installed ATI and created an image of each drive on an external usb HDD.

  I powered down, installed 2 new SATA drives and booted from the easy to create Bootable Recovery Disk (for use in an instance like mine, where no OS is in place).

  I restored each image to a new HDD.

  Unplugged the usb and booted right from the new drive.

  All of my files, apps, music, vids, and OS were exacly as they were before - but with almost a TB of new storage!

  Cons: It's expensive and many report errors and an assortment of problems.

  For me it did EXACTLY what I needed.

  "Life Saver"

  by oldgrendel on May 6, 2008

  Pros: I've moved many clients into using this software for several years and it has installed and behaved perfectly every single time. It has proved a life saver for clients and on my several systems without fail. I won't even begin to work on a system without imaging the drive first.

  Cons: I didn't write it.
