"TI Forum Fubars tell the tale"
Version: Acronis True Image Home 2013
Pros
Not much since 2009
Cons
Oklahoma in the TI forum seems to exemplify the Zit in the middle of your forehead anxiety of running this software. From 35138: 2013 Image Disk Restore Leaves Windows 7 Unbootable; there are a lot of soothing tech thrash noises and promises and not much else. True Image is not for me, either.
Summary
Waste of money in a Win 7 64 bit platform. Shop elsewhere.

"More of a virus than anything"
Version: Acronis True Image Home 2013
Pros
none? i cant find any.
Cons
You can never uninstall it. It corrupts files. Once it is installed on your machine, it takes an act of God to get it off. I am very technical, and it took me hours to finally get it off my machine. Stay away.

"TIH 2013 still going downhill"
Version: Acronis True Image Home 2013
Pros
None. Renders previous backups unreadable.
Cons
Eliminates your ability to have a stable reliable backup platform.
Summary
I LOVED True Image back in the old days, 2008-2010, where it just worked. At 2011, we started having reliability problems, and my 2012 install became so corrupted and useless that I had to demand my money back. I've been running on 2010 and it is like a rock, but I thought I'd try 2013 to see if they got their heads out of the hole yet. Apparently not. I tried to get one of my backups open and it just sat there with the spinning circle and "please wait" for about 15 minutes, then Windows announced that it was no longer responding.
Utter garbage. Run away fast. -
"Install corrupts everything"
Version: Acronis True Image Home 2013
Pros
None--it is beneath contempt and is more virus than help.
Cons
The install of this program creates no viable uninstall option. It corrupts previous version backups and is beneath contempt.
I had to literally wipe the boot drive using another program because the faulty install creates so many disc problems.
The worst version yet by far. Stick with 12 as updated. -
"Can of worms."
Version: Acronis True Image Home 2013
Pros
Some good features.
Cons
Knocks out your working backup system. No indication that it is backing up or restoring. Log froze up computer.Backup data location scrambled.I spent a week getting the backup system to work 87% worth.
Summary
Dear soon to be unemployed:
Check out Acronis reviews. I would like management to replace all the incompetent people
that work as technical support for Acronis. Then the software Engineers that created
this can of worms. Management could then micromanage the coffee machine. It was smart to charge for
Tech support when the software is to buggy to sell in the market place.
