 The BEST product for disk imaging and general backups. February 9, 2006

I have used Acronis True Image 9 many times and have found that it works flawlessly.
I bought this product because I was looking for an easy way to upgrade the hard drive in my laptop. True Image walked me through the steps of duplicating the contents of my entire hard drive onto the new replacement drive that I had purchased. The entire process took less than 30 minutes and voila! Everything worked perfectly.
I thought about buying the Symantec product which does the same thing (Ghost I believe), but I've never cared for any of Symantec's products so I was happy to give the $35 to Acronis.
Trust me, you won't regret buying this software, even if you're only planning to back up your hard drive.
Acronis True Image 9.0- Read this first! January 8, 2006

1. I am a "home" software tech.
I WAS using Norton Ghost, but kept having problems with their system restore bombing!
I needed a "full Image/System" backup, that is dependable, for me and my clients!
Acronis True Image 9.0 is it!
I read MANY reviews on 9.0. The reviews were love/hate?
Users commonly blame problems... on the computer/software/hardware..., but 99.9% of the time it is "user error...!"! The most common error, is that some other running program conflicts (especially AntiSpyware/AntiVirus!), with a PROPER pgm installation (see my PROPER install procedure below).
Things I was able to do while thoroughly testing 9.0 on 2 desktops & one laptop, with NO problems!
1. Backup/Restore from a different partition, on the primary Hard Drive (the best results!).
2. Backup/Restore from a different partition on my slave HD.
3. Backup/Restore from my new Western Digital USB 2.0, 120Gb, 7,200 rpm external HD (WOW!, it does faster backups... than 24x CD, and rivals my 7,200 rpm slave HD's!).
4. Restored system from installed 9.0 program (best), and Acronis emergency boot CD.
ALL functions worked great for me, except Incremental Backup!
a. "Incremental backup", is a pain!/slow & did not backup my changed data files...! I do a full image backup instead (faster!)!
II. This is what I did (should work for 8.0 also).
"Highly Technical", print it out (File/Print...)!
9.0 is supposed to work on ALL/(raid too) HD's.
1. My new WD 120mb USB 2.0 external HD-
a. Reformatted from FAT32 to NTFS using "quick...", (I created "2" 60mb partitions).
b. Forget the WD Software..., XP recognizes this HD, and installs all the drivers.../ Restart.
Now for a PROPER program install! You need to disable ALL running programs (hidden too!). If you are having problems... with 8.0/9.0 (for that matter ANY pgm!)- Uninstall/restart & do this PROPER install procedure)-
1. To Disable "ALL" Startup Group Items, (except if u have an add on firewall/SHOULD!).
Do this procedure for "ALL" your program installs, not just this one!
a. Start, Run, type in "msconfig", Selective Startup (remove check from "Load Startup Group Items", (click on Startup folder & put check in add on firewall only, if needed.), Apply, OK..., Restart Now. SLOW DOWN!
2. Install 9.0./ Restart XP LOVES restarts(All program installs/uninstalls/file deletes..., are NOT complete until AFTER a restart)! After a restart... ALWAYS wait for your tower... HD light to stop blinking, before continuing!!!). For that matter- EVERY time you click ANY pgm selection..., wait 10 seconds... for HD lights to stop blinking! YUP!, "WE" ARE faster than a speeding computer & I gotta super-fast one! (you want your computer/pgm... to play with a "Full Deck...!") SLOW DOWN!
3. Go to the www.Acronis.com web site, and register your "valid" 9.0 software. Open their verification email, and click...
4. Login back onto the Acronis web site ("login" is hidden WAY on the right side) Download/Save.../Run the 37mb, 9.0 product update./ Restart!
note:- This is the complete program, and may/should be installed instead of using the old CD program. It will accept your CD key code.
5. Now do a "Normal Startup"-
Start, Run, msconfig, put dot in "Normal Startup", apply, ok..., Restart Now. SLOW DOwn!
6. Cleanup your system (Fix-it Utilities 6 (ONLY install this pgm. see my review!), free- EasyCleaner 2.0, & CleanUp 4.0, are also GREAT!). Restart.
7. Now check your System files for errors- Open "My Computer", RIGHT click on your system "C" drive/(Disk 1), Properties, Tools, Check Now, put ckeck in Automatically fix file system errors (only!, unless you suspect HD errors). Start Now...
a. Let XP do its restart checkup/auto repair, & restart "TWICE!"!
b. PROPER HD Defragment!- Restart, Log off internet. RIGHT click on ALL icons next to clock & exit/stop/disable... what you can, wait 1 min. for HD lights to stop, and defrag (see #7...). Restart TWICE, & log back onto internet.
8. Acronis can be VERY difficult to figure out (I LOVE this challenge!)! (download/install the free trial, first!?)!
a. To Create a bootable Rescue Media CD-
From "Normal Startup..."- Click on the life ring icon... (don't be TO quick after opening 9.0!!!) SLOW DOWN!
b. Open 9.0, and do a backup to your destination HD(Default settings. Expand +My Computer, to find HD's...).
The backup file MUST be named- SomethingMeaningful.tib (i.e- LaptopE1.tib ("E" being the HD file is stored on!)). (9.0 took about 5 min to backup the 7gb of files on my C drive).
c. Restart, and run a 9.0 "Check Archive", on the .tib file you just created (about 5 min.).
9. Now see if System Restore works (Takes about 15min.!)? Don't open any email..., or any other file/pgm changes... (Overwrites your existing system)! Backup ALL your important data files first(the most important file for most, is your "Email Address Book"!). Restart.
a. Restore fm 9.0 pgm (best), or if "dead in water..." put the emergency 9.0 boot CD in, and restart (may have to change your bios to restart from CD, before your HD?). When the 9.0 "boot" CD opens "Quick!!!", click on the TOP! option...
Note": Once restore is started- DO NOT CANCEL, or you'll lose XP...! (start over if you goof up... Be patient!).
HD letters will "drastically change!", browse for your .tib restore file (you'll be glad you put the "E"..., in the .tib file name!), and click it...
Important LATER Note!: I downloaded & installed their later version, that fully supports DVD writing-
1. The DVD backup, took an hour & 15 minutes (HD backup took 5 minutes)! I wouldn't even try a SLOW restore from this!
a. When you select your DVD writer, and it comes back & says "Invalid CD...", just click retry..., & it will select DVD.
2. The HD recovery with this new version took 45min! The older version took less than 10min.
ENJOY!
Scott :o)
Pleasant Surprises December 24, 2005

I ordered this software on December 21 and it arrived on the 23rd by UPS ground. TigerDirect shipped it on the 22nd, sent me an email to that effect about 4 hours before it arrived at my home. That was the first pleasant surprise.
I'm running a system I built myself that uses an AMD Athlon processor and I run fully-updated XP Home. My objective was to swap out a 6-year old 13 Gbyte harddrive for a newer 40 Gbyte model. The newer disk has actually been in use for 3 years as a second drive.
The software installed very quickly and with no unexpected events. All the prompts were clear so there was never any need to reference Help or the website.
Since my true objective was to clone my boot drive and put the clone into service as my boot drive, that's the option I selected when I ran the software. Again, the prompts for this process were very clear. My first attempt at cloning failed - True Image needed to do a reboot, but after the reboot, the software didn't continue running. After thinking about that for a while I decided to disable my Anitvirus software and software firewall. I chose the clone option again and, this time, everything went as expected. After the reboot, a "dos" screen appeared showing progress of the cloning operation. Total elapsed time to clone my drive was 20 minutes - that was pleasant surprise number two.
Since my system is fairly new, my BIOS allows me to select which hard drive is my master boot disk. When the clone operation completed, I rebooted, opened the BIOS and told it to boot from HDD1 instead of HDD0, saved the configuration change and continued into Windows. Everything looked just like before and everything works as it did before. With two exceptions - the system runs faster because it's a faster disk drive, and I'm no longer bumping into a hard drive size limitation. That was pleasant surprise number three.
I have done many, many system upgrades in the 25 years I've been working with computers and this is the easiest one I've ever done. Even if this is the only thing I do with the software, it was worth the price.
Quick, easy and works! April 4, 2006

I used to use Ghost extensively. Heard good things about it and it worked for me for some time. But recent versions are getting s.l.o.w.e.r and s.l.o.w.e.r and more complicated to use (especially on the "restore" side). Checked numerous reviews including CR and decided to try Acronis. Have not been disappointed, even after several months and quite a few backups and restores. My title sums it up.
The best utility software I have ever used September 20, 2006

The 60 GB hard drive in my laptop was full and I wanted to upgrade to a bigger drive.
I bought a 160 GB internal hard drive for my laptop and put it in a 2.5" USB enclosure.
Connected the new hard drive to my laptop and used the clone function of the Acronis True Image 9.0.
In less than 2 hours the clone was complete.
I put the 160 GB hard drive in my laptop, booted up, and everything works like before.
