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
"Have not had any problems up to now, So far so good"
Pros: I have recovered 4 times from a partition backup and once from a backup on an external H/D using the boot disc just to test it, it worked perfectly.Hope it does this when i really need it. Unlike Norton Ghost, I wish i'd tested that before hand.
Cons: None so far
Summary: If you have installed ATI from a disc make sure you burn another boot disc if during installation you chose to update to later software because the original disc will not boot.

"Indispensable and Best of Breed."
Pros: Provides comprehensive and very flexible complete backup and recovery that can be used for multiple backup strategies.

Version: Acronis True Image Home 2010
"cannot get all features to work."
Pros: The program did backup to the target directory. I have not tested it to see if it did, but the respected name gave me some confidence that it wqoul restore in the event of a disaster.
Cons: the help isn't helpful. I could not find any way to get the nonstop backup to work. I also wanted to use it on a second computer, a laptop for use away from home, but would have to buy a full second licence to do so. Most programs allow a 2nd copy.
