 Creates Vista Instability November 8, 2008
I have no idea whether this software works for its intended function (backup/restore), but it completely trashed my registry when installing other new software packages! After installing Acronis 11, three processes were added to startup, Acronis Scheduler, Acronis Timounter and Trueimage Monitor. When these processes were running any software installation caused the BSOD on restart and usually was unable to recover from system restore automatically. When these three processes were disabled, subsequent installation of the same software products worked fine.
Stay away from this product!
 Acronis True Image November 1, 2008
Acronis works well once your bios is properly upgraded and any new disk drive is not too big for your bios. I wanted to transfer my operating system to a nice new 250 Gig drive but the bios (newest available for my ancient mother board) would only deal with 120 Gig, so the computer could not boot from the large disk. OK, now I have a nice new 120 Gig disk and my cloned operating system worked first try.
Acronis backup is also quite convenient as the backup files can be directly accessed by Windows Explorer to read any folder or file without reinstalling the entire backup.
Tech service via internet chat is unbelievably good - outstanding even. They provide essentially instant response, any time of day or night by techs who know computer problems or can rapidly get answers.
Trouble free mirror drive October 28, 2008
Product mirrored my Dell 40gig to a identialg 40 gig which was swapped out and booted with no problem....I did not try the other features of this product which are many.
Well worth the affordable purchase price. October 24, 2008
I've been an Acronis guy for a long time, after N*rton shafted me with the dreaded 'compression error - cannot recover' after incorrectly verifying an image. It's always hilarious when that happens with, say, your family photos.
Acronis is cheaper, has a better memory footprint, works with any system, is not reliant on a particular OS, correctly archives and verifies, and presents it all in a viewable, mountable format for easy and safe retrieval of a single file or the entire image. The newer version (my previous is ver. 8) allows for custom archive jobs as well. Fully supports all hardware types, SATA I/II etc and has been my most dependable tool as a part-time IT guy. Never a crash, and never a bad archive. That alone speaks for itself.
Those of you that have not made a choice that have no strings attached or direction from management on a solution: choose either Acronis or Boot-it to solve your data safeguarding problems on the small to midsize scale. I ultimately choose and continue to choose Acronis because the image file mounter/viewer comes self-encapsulated in the software (boot-it is offered as a separate download).
Hope this helps. It hasn't let me down yet even in the darkest of eleventh-hour project days.
Easy October 24, 2008
Having read a number of reviews of imaging software, I selected this one based on reported ease of use and price.
I found it easy to install and easy to use. This software was installed in a laptop to image backup to a USB external drive. The software is intuitive in terms of configuration and use.
True Image will prompt you for a full backup, which is appropriate. Thereafter you can schedule incremental backups to run when you wish. The software also allows you to retrieve individual files and folders, although I have yet to test this feature. Help files are plentiful.
The full backup took a couple of hours. That will vary depending on your hard drive size and equipment connections. It's best to set that up to run one evening. I would disable screen savers and any power saver features that might interrupt the backup. Incemental backups for me take about twenty minutes. Even so it is a temporary drain of your resources, even if working in the background. That is not unexpected and incremental backups are therefore best configured to run during times you won't be using your computer.
Overall I am very pleased and can find nothing negative about this product. I do recommend it to others.
