 You'll be soooo glad you bought this January 9, 2009

I've suffered through drive failures about every two years for the past 10 years. On my last drive failure two years ago, I had Norton Ghost running. It was an older version, but I was completely backed up with it. I tried to do a restore, only to find that my version had come into terrible conflict with subsequent updates. It not only failed to restore my system, it rendered two new drives completely unreadable. I was not happy, so I went looking for something better.
I did a lot of research and decided to install Acronis. Last night was my test when for the first time ever, I got to see the deep azure blue of WIN XP's blue screen of death. I couldn't tell if it was a disk failure or just a corrupted file, so before installing a new disk, I tried restoring the Acronis backup to the same drive to see what the results would be. Well, I'm typing this review with a smile on face, and running on the same drive that died last night. Corruped file -- drive is fine.
So, to sum up:
Desktop Computer: $649.00
Acronis True Image 11: $39.00
Restoration of drive after BSOD: Priceless
 Do not buy this software January 5, 2009

Looks good on the surface. However, when you install and use this software, it has 2 major drawbacks.
1. Backups overwrite each other. There is no option to select so that you get separate backups, the new one overwrites the old one. Bad because if the most current backup is corrupt, you don't have a previous one to rely on.
2. No destination drive management. Your disk gets full, no problem, Acronis stops backing up your data. Bad because it takes automation out of the picture, you have to manually make sure your disk is not full before the back up runs.
Both issues can have various work-arounds, but really, you should not need to use a work-around for such vital and basic needs in your backup software. Plus, the work arounds may not always work. I have to give this 1-star, it fails horribly at giving you a valid peace of mind.
Acronis refused to honor their 30 day warranty. December 22, 2008

I was dissatisfied with Acronis, because of incorrect advertising, and requested my money back within their 30-day warranty period. They refused to reply. I contacted them by email repeatedly, and they would not respond.
As for me, this company will never sell me another product.

The acronis 11 software application has been very helpful. A lot of nice features and easy to use. Within minutes I had my system backed up on an external drive. This is a nice investment for peace of mind when it comes to backing up your computer system. The user interface is easy to navigate and documentation is good. Thanks Acronis!

Not sure why some folks are having problems with restorals in this application. Maybe it's because I'm a systems manager...maybe not. I built a brand new tower this summer and loaded it with a Seagate 750GB SATA Drive as the primary OS drive. The drive failed within 2 months (I should have stayed with Maxtor.) Although the drive was under warranty and a replacement is on the way, I didn't feel like waiting for the drive to show up. I got a 300GB Maxtor drive and popped it in. My image is stored on an external 500GB drive. Fired up Acronis and went to work. It prompted me that the drive I wanted to use wasn't the same size and all it asked was if I wanted to use the 300GB drive and how much of it I wanted to use (all of it, of course.) It asked me if I wanted to verify before restoring the image (I said yes, but be warned it can take 6 hours or more to verify before restoring) and I went to bed. In the morning, it was all done and I rebooted the PC and all was right with the world. Lost a couple of files because my last backup was 5 days before, but these things happen. Say what you will, but Acronis did its job.
My only complaint is that the Try and Decide feature doesn't work with Vista Ultimate 64 Bit. Acronis tech support said to uninstall/reinstall, but it still freezes up when I activate it. If anyone knows how to get it working, I'd like to hear about it. Not having that feature is not a deal breaker. I wanted backup/recovery/imaging and this does it very well. As far as I'm concerned, it has already paid for itself. It has excellent compression and my 500+GB of data across 3 drives imaged at less than 80GB. Weekly differential backups take up little space as well.
When the new 750GB drive arrives, I'll do a quick image, swap the drive and restore the image back onto the big drive, then repartition the 300GB drive for the kids' PC...they need more storage anyway! I have no doubts that it will be just as seamless as it was the last time.
