I bought Acronis 6 months ago and after installing it I never heard a peep out of it. Then I woke up one morning suddenly to find that every file had been wiped from my computer. I had no idea how or why this was possible, I only knew that I had to get them back. That's where I clicked on the Acronis Icon, and after a short time my files were restored and everything was back to normal. It works, Thank God.

Awesome Awesome Awesome! I can't say that enough about Acronis True Image 11! This software saved me SO much work that I fear I will be in debt to it for the rest of my life. And its cheap to boot! How can you complain? Basically the story goes like this: My grandparents are computer enthusiasts, and they always have been. Now that they are getting a little bit older my grandfather needs a bit of assistance to maintain both of their machines. He is after all the person responsible for getting me involved with computers in the first place, so it seems only right that I should be the one to help pick up the slack for them.
Anyways, long story short, my grandmother's pc is quite elaborately loaded with desktop publishing utilities and photos galore. When her machine crashes....it is not a pretty site to rebuild. Acronis True Image took care of weeks of headaches....TWICE! So far I have been able to completely restore her pc using True Image and not having to reinstall anything major! I couldn't be happier with this product...

I emailed the tech support center on January 17th with a question because the sole function for which I bought this software (cloning my 320 GB hard drive onto a new 1.5TB drive) wasn't working. I did not receive a response until MARCH 11th! The e-mail said that the delay was due to "a greater than anticipated interest in our products."
Fortunately, I eventually resolved the problem. If you run the software for cloning ONLY and it keeps crashing in the middle of the cloning process (somewhere around step 2 or step 3), fear not. Rather than going through the hassle of actually installing the software, just put the install ation CD in your CD-ROM drive and boot your computer from that drive. The program interface is almost the same, minus a few of the advanced options which really aren't relevant anyway. After literally 15 attempts, I got the whole drive cloned in just over an hour, booting from the CD itself.
Software works well otherwise apart from this issue, but if you need tech support, forget it.

This prodcut is great, I dont understand how people rates it so low, The program is so intuitive that even a kid could use it, thats the reason that is difficult to find support, because you dont need any.
Compared to Norton Ghost Acronis is lighter, I doesnt consumes much ram or procesor like ghost do, the real difference between Norton and Acronis is that Norton is from Symantec, that produces all kind of security software, and Acronis concentrates all the resources in backup and recovery software for desktops, workstations, servers and multiple operating systems.
by Peter Parmenter
Like several of the other posts, I was really looking forward to knowing all of my files - and programs - would be safely tucked away in case something happened.
..then something DID happen.
Restoration was not possible, and tech support was non-existent. Thankfully, I had read about another product (Mozy) that keeps everything at their site, encrypted, etc. I'm sitting here, after re-loading Windows, etc - and thankful that I had this second option picked.
Good luck.

Acronis True Image Home 2009 works well on smaller hard drives -- or drives up to 100 GB -- but fails on larger drives I tested above 500GB.
In one case, TI 2009 deleted several programs after restoring from an image.
Shadow Protect Desktop 3.3 is a much better product.
by Stanley
I use Carbonite and would not be without it, but I think a mirror image is nice for a few bucks, too. Something happened in Win XP that would not allow me to log in and I didn't even have a password setup. I couldn't get in in safe mode either. I tried a boot utility on cd but that didn't work. I put in my Acronis disk and selected cd in multiple boot. I plugged in my ext. drive and restored my mirror backup that was 3 weeks old. Carbonite restored my recent data files. All I can say is that Acronis came through for me and the restore was only around 15 minutes (52GB). I ran another mirror image backup today which took around 20 minites. What can I say? I guess you love it or hate it. I have had to restore from all the pgm disks before, re-download, try to find ser. numbers, etc... For me Acronis wins hands down.

Very Unreliable, Don't Trust to Safeguard your System
by rrdjserv
This product was a hugh disappointment. It does not support drag and drop. It does not support control-click or shift click to select/deselect files. You have to download a 89 MB file just to bring it up to date. I have email Support twice without any response. I have uninstalled this s/w and will never use it.

Seriously, before complaining, take the time to learn how to use it! It has an extensive & comprehensive help file, I recommend using it just like I had to do. I use Vista Ultimate & have Paragon Hard Disk Manager installed on it. I can assure you, it's harder to use then this. Luckily Vista Ultimate has the ability to image itself & thats the only recovered image that has ever brought back a stable Vista system for me, to date. I'm still learning Paragon but I got it free & legal so I will get it sooner or later. Check out Politically Motivated (dotnet) & you can find out how to get Paragon Hard Disk manager 2009 for free. No, it's not my website but a site I visit often just for things like that.

I have been using Acronis now for a few years, and love it. I previously used Norton Ghost. The advantages of Acronis over Ghost were evident: on-the-fly backup, great support for RAID, etc. At this point, I would not trust any other software to backup my PC...

I bought this to clone my wifes PC. This was the first time I'd used this program and it worked perfectly. After I cloned the drive, the new drive crashed a few days later. I used the old drive and recloned the replacement drive when it arrived. No problems.
by Rene Bonvanie
I'm not sure how much I can say about this product other than that it does what it is supposed to do and is completely out of my way. I've used it in two scenarios so far: cloning a Vista hard drive to a solid state drive, and full-system backup. Both work flawlessly. I hope I never have to use the full system restore after a crash, but that's what I also bought it for :)
by Michael Rothberg
Purchased this product because I needed the capability to do a complete restore (if necessary) in order to preserve the manufacturer's factory build and all license information. I am currently using about 70GB on my hard disk, and ATI does the complete backup to my external USB HD in less than 2 hours. I have tested restoring specific folders and files and it works flawlessly.
The only problem I had was when I tried to create a bootable CD based upon the most current build from Acronis. I was unable to do this because the installation of the new build was faulty. I had to uninstall Acronis completely and reinstall it with the new build from the Acronis web site. It wasn't difficult, just a pain.
Acronis online chat tech support leaves something to be desired. Long waits; marginal competence.
All said, I would buy it again.
by John
I found the Acronis True Image system backup utility to be very easy to use. Creating an image of my 500GB c: drive, which is only about 20% full, took longer than I had expected, but the security of having my system completely backed up is worth the time. I have not yet tried to restore an image, but the instructions are very straightforward. The software also allows creation of a boot CD that will allow you to get your system running so you can restore an image in the event that the system won't boot normally. All in all, Acronis True Image is a good value for the money and, I believe, worth every penny I paid for it in peace of mind even if I never have to restore an image.
by Lori
I bought Acronis 2009 a few months ago since everywhere I checked it had a good rating. I checked the review on PC World on Acronis 2008 and the review was great. However, when I checked the review on Acronis 2009 the writer said after he backed up his system he discovered all files were not copied. Therefore, he did not give it an A rating. I am still making up my mind if I am going to use it or not since I am not a geek and will not be able to tell if all files have been copied as stated. He stated he contacted Acronis and they did not seem to think it was a big deal and had no updates to correct this. If you are going to use this product check to be sure all your files that are supposed to be copied are copied
by Paul
I had previously used Ghost for many years several years ago but this program seemed to have better reviews. I installed it am am happy with the results: it does everything I want it to, but I was unable to set up the Acronis Secure Zone on my multi-partitioned disk probably because the software couldn't revise the MBR. I didn't consider this important for my application.
by pawigene
Poorly tested software. Customer support is inadequate.
by Chainmail2006
Does what it claims it will but you have to spend some time learning how to use it properly. Excellent help file, excellent GUI, excellent feature set. Much easier then reformatting Windows because it works. Worth every red cent I paid for it.

Like I said, even changing memory will make it say your backup is corrupt! And it can' handle RAID.

Beware of this software! I have used previous versions with success (although I never had to do a restore) however I could not get this version to install. Naturally I called acronis tech support (a big mistake). In contrast to the written instructions which said otherwise, they insisted that I uninstall the older software. This was no simple matter since that required that I download and install special acronis software for the task, and that software required that I also download two obscure Microsoft routines that were hard to find. Nonetheless I did as instructed only to find that I had a blue screen crash (the worst kind) when I tried to reboot. I had the same result even when I tried to reboot in the "safe" mode. Just before going into terminal panic, I discovered that I could reset to an earlier version of my system which worked OK. I don't want any acronis software anywhere near my computer in the future.

I backed up my hard drive with Acronis True Image. Then I started to format my hard drive so that I could test Acronis. I couldn't boot my laptop. Then I used Acronis to restore my laptop. I did not have to reinstall win xp and then restore. The procedure was very simple. The drawback of this program is that it is not intuitive. You really have to read the help files and stuff to find out what to do.
by George
Acronis makes a great backup program. It's pretty easy to use, and it works with both USB and networked external storage. The only hiccup I came across was trying to restore from a USB-connected external WD Passport hard drive. It took a few reboots and some patience to get the program to recognize the drive. After that, the restore went very smoothly. Scheduling backups is super easy, as is choosing which files to exclude from your backup. I download a lot of disposable videos that I don't keep from week to week, so I don't need those backed up all the time. Lastly, accessing your backups through the Acronis application while the computer is running is very handy. If you don't want to do a full restore, you can restore folders or even single files. All in all, a great buy. Totally worth it.
by Custer
While the software appears to be creating the backups as instructed, the user interface is very poorly designed and executed. For one example, when you want to create an incremental backup, instead of listing for selection only the files actually on the backup hard drive, it appears to list all the files you've ever created (obviously from a file it creates internally). This makes it very difficult to select the files to append to. This is just one small example. The point is, there is really minimal user interface necessary (so it should have been simplet to design), but it appears the Acronis spent almost no time trying to figure out how to make it easy on the users.
by usarcut
I bought this program after having to rebuild my hard drive (a daylong project). After facing the possibility of having to rebuild my machine again several months later, I tried to access my Acronis image 4 times before giving up and starting from scratch. What good is only having email tech support if you can't access the internet??

Nice graphical interface. Backups are a snap. Images are a snap. This program does everything a home user needs. Try&Decide is a great feature! Easier to use than norton ghost.
