Acronis True Image 10 Home received 5 of 5 stars

Acronis True Image 10 Home from Acronis makes a complete copy of your PC, operating system and all, so you can restore it to working state easily.

Acronis True Image 10 Home Review @ BRnR

"Viruses. Malware. Rootkits. Poorly-written drivers, "critical updates" and patches that sometimes do more harm than good. Months of excess baggage left behind in the registry from installing and uninstalling dozens of programs and drivers, and corrupted registry keys from all those wonderful blue-screen crashes that finally forces Windows to collapse under its own dead weight. This is the hi-tech minefield your PC navigates on a daily basis, putting the hours you invested in tuning and tweaking it to perfection, and all of your valuable data, at risk. Fortunately, there's Acronis True Image 10 Home to help keep your data out of harm's way."

That will save you the trouble of buying a new PC, or spending a lot of money to upgrade your existing box. I'm shooting to give WinXP the same feature improvements Microsoft lists at www.microsoft.com/windowsvista, which include security, search, Internet Explorer 7, the Sidebar, performance, and backup. With a little tweaking, tuning, and downloading-and a lot less hassle or cash outlay-you can get Vista-like benefits."

So good that it almost makes backing up fun

"You know, it's almost unfair. Here are all these other programs bravely listing a few features that make them all worthy in their own right, then the outgoing version of Acronis True Image comes along with everything in it. So. File and folder backups? Check. Scheduled backups? Check. Disc and partition cloning? Check. Bootable rescue discs that doesn't need a working Windows install or an accursed floppy drive to recover from? Check. In other words, basically everything that the other apps on test offer, with the exception of Genie's online storage and Second Copy's straight duplication upon a file change trick."

"In January, I wrote about my experience with PC Mover from Laplink Software, an effective solution for migrating your applications from one Windows PC to another, even (with some caveats) when those computers are running different versions of Windows. But there is another kind of migration that PC users often face, upgrading their hard drive. Unfortunately, backup applications that rely exclusively on file-based backup can't restore a working Windows installation because they don't capture what is known as the master boot record. (Apple, incidentally, notes that Time Machine, which creates browsable, file-based backups, can be used to restore or migrate to another Mac, but that Time Machine archives themselves are not bootable.)"

"I harp on having backups on this site and with good reason. I have had my own system just recently go down do to a corrupted driver. I also watched a co-workers system go down this week and all her work that was not backed up to a network drive. Computer failures are a way of life, whether they are hardware or software. That is why there are tons of backup solutions in the market place. Most decent backup software allows for files to be backed up and recovered. Recovery is the biggest key for the question is if a backup solution allows all the files to be recovered, and what the process is. This is why today I am reviewing a backup software package from Acronis, Acronis True Image Home. Acronis is known for their bare metal restore backup software, let's see how well it performs."

Back Up Your Troubles

"...The best way to back up a system is to create an exact image of the system... Sounds simple enough, but making disk images isn't always so simple. As of this writing, both Norton Ghost and PowerQuest Drive Image require you to boot to DOS to make a disk image, so none of your Windows apps are usable during the process... Acronis True Image 6.0 allows users to work on their Windows systems while the image is being made. And because the program works in Windows, not DOS, it can save the image to CD-Rs, external FireWire or USB 2.0 devices, or network drives. You can even burn an image and copy it onto DVD-R discs, which is a great feature. With today's larger drives, backing up to CD-Rs is frustratingly getting reminiscent of the old days when we used to have to back up to floppies..."
