Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Acronis True Image remains one of the most user-friendly and powerful applications in its class. Unlike most other disk-image utilities, you can perform all the tasks without exiting Windows. However, if your system can't boot, Acronis True Image can be launched from a CD or a disk. A scheduler and an incremental method (saving only sectors changed since the last backup) minimize the fuss of backing up your system so you can perform it every day. Another great feature, Secure Storage, lets you make images inaccessible from Windows so they can't be damaged. The program works at a decent speed, 1GB in five minutes, and doesn't considerably affect system speed. Acronis True Image supports all features necessary to a home user: compression, password protection, the ability to split an image into several volumes, and the ability to move your system to another hard drive. This new version offers an option that lets you specify which files and folders you'd like to archive. You can browse images as if they were usual hard drives and extract only necessary files. The program's wizard-based instructive interface suits inexperienced users. Acronis True Image doesn't offer professional features, such as installing an image on multiple PCs at once, but we consider it a must-have for home users who want to safeguard their systems.Publisher's description

Version: Acronis True Image Home 2010
"Nice interface but not reliable outcome..."
Pros: Very cool and easy interface... as well as new interesting and useful features added.
Cons: It failed to recover my system, which - fortunately - I managed to restore it from a former image - I created with "Active@ Boot Disk" - while I also needed the contribution of "Windows 7 Repair Disc", in order to make my OS resurrected and bootable!
Summary: It used to be one of the best of its kind... but this new version has not been completed yet! A lot of bugs are to be fixed and disfunctional issues still to be solved before it becomes reliable again.

Version: Acronis True Image Home 2010
"Utter Failure - Acronis has lost their quality edge"
Pros: I have been a long time user and promoter of the Acronis product line..
Cons: .. but with their latest releases I have been sorely disappointed. After installing the latest version, during the post install reboot my system (Win XP) blue screened.
Summary: As a former true fan of these products I am forced to look for something more reliable, and perhaps more basic as the feature bloat seems to have resulted in poor quality.

Version: Acronis True Image Home 2010
"Might work for some, didn't work for me"
Pros: Great interface, lots of neat tools
Cons: Didn't clone my laptop hard drive succesfully after two attempts and most of a workday.
Summary: I started out just having my new larger drive plugged in via USB. I initiated a clone, and it went speedily, but when I swapped it to the main HD position and booted up, it would not boot properly. Checked Acronis' forums--they suggested doing a CHK... read more >>
