review by: Old Warrior date: 2008-08-04 rating:
Works well on my system.
Over the years I have had 3 computers and experienced some nightmare experiences
when things went wrong and I then had to spend days reinstalling my software while knowing
that I had lost some information forever.
I decided to dual boot my new computer with Vista and Windows XP and realised I needed
to have a reliable backup system if things went wrong.
I installed Acronis True Image 10 on my Vista Hard Drive and printed out the True Image Manual
so I could always refer to it should my computer die on me.
This is essential unless you are blessed with a photographic memory.
I have also purchased a 1 TB external hard drive to keep my backups on.
Whenever I make any major changes to my software I just do a full partition backup
of both my Vista and XP drives and this holds the complete drive images.
I have restored my full backup images at least 3 times and the Acronis software has
successfully recovered my computer software in just a few hours saving me a lot of time,
effort, frustration and leaving me confident in its ability to complete my Backups.
I realise that with different hardware configurations on other computers some people may have
different results using Acronis True Image 10 but it has worked well and proved itself to be a reliable
and trusted piece of Backup Software on my Dual Booted Computer System which has the following
configuration:-
Windows Vista Home Premium.
Windows XP.
Motherboard Asus P5N-E SLI.
Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 at 2.66 Ghz.
Memory 3 Gb DDR2, 800Mhz.
Graphics Boards two Winfast PX8800 GTX TDH in SLI Mode.
Internal Sata Hard Drives, two 320 GB at 7200 RPM.
External USB Hard Drives, 1 at 320 GB and 1 at 1 TB, both used for Backup.
Two Rewritable DVD/CD LightScribe Drives.
Power Supply, XCLIO 750 Watt.

Fine for disk cloning
Having read other comments, I believe the satisfaction heavily depends on how it is used. I've bought it only for disk cloning, and it's never failed. My PC is an IBM ThinkPad X24 with a dockstation, in which a second hard disk is placed. I've tried cloning several times: 30GB->60GB, 60GB->120GB, and 120GB->250GB. The cloning process is very fast; it takes less than 20 minutes to clone a 120GB disk. If you compare with the speed of XCOPY, you'll be amazed. The only problem for me is the location of the cloning menu. I don't use it frequently so it takes some time to find the menu.

Summary: Excellent for cloning. I've never used other functions.

The proof of the pudding
I guess backup software is a waste of money - unless you come to need it at which point it becomes worth its weight in gold.

I decided to get backed up as I'm a semi pro photographer with 10s of Gb worth of photographs and the thought of losing them was becoming more and more of a worry.

So about 6 months ago I bought a WD Mybook 250GB external USB drive and TI 10. Its been taking weekly differential backups whenever I remember to leave the PC turned on overnight on a Friday - no dramas or fanfare.

This week my XP installation got totally trashed by a virus and became completely unbootable. I booted from the TI 10 cd and restored the drive from the image taken a week ago. It took 4 nerve-wracking hours but worked perfectly.

All of a sudden it became the best buy I've made since I got my camera!

Beware, this software may not work!
I bought this software in July last year and for a while it worked as expected. In November it started crashing every time I tried to use it. I contacted the help desk and spent a considerable amount of time providing them with diagnostic information. Despite repeated assurances they have not provided a solution and recently have stopped responding to my e-mails.

Simple relaible and functional
Its easy to setup and run.

fast too

I back up my hard disc in 45 minutes.
The yellow box ghostly thing took the whole night plus.

I have also had to restore once, when software corrupted the system.
Easy und Peasy and did the job.

I would recommend backing up to another old hard drive, dead easy to plug in the PC, just power and the IDE or SATA cable.
Why?

Its faster, HDD are much faster than CD DVD drives (by days)
You can back up the whole drive whilst you have your tea.
Good to do with a new drive, use the old for backup 9when done0 and the program will help you transfer the whole windows setup to the new hard disc as well. (clone)

It worked straight away and took about 2 hours, fully automatically, no hassles.

A new hard drive? under £45 and you get a backup drive, mad not to do it.
