Did not work with server 2012 as advertised.
chester215- Pros
- Easy to use Affordable Fast Intuitive interface
- Cons
- Doesn't work as advertised with server 2012 NO tech support
- Summary
- Have been doing backups for some time on my server 2012 machine with this software. System failed, tried recovering with backups. Backups do not work. Not corrupted, all of the data is there but windows boots up to a blue screen. The error code says 1 file is bad, boot into safe mode, everything is ok. Replacing or rebuilding file doesn't help either. Filled out a ticket, no response. No tech support to speak of. Now I have to rebuild the system from scratch. Server down for a week with several computer repair people looking at it and unable to understand what is happening.
Reliable Backup and Restore
jpeni- Pros
- Easy interface Fast backup Fast restore Can restore seleted files from image
- Cons
- No problems with this backup program
- Summary
- Over the last 20 years, I have tried, tested and used many disk imaging programs. Many of the old reliable programs of the past dont work well in their latest versions or with Windows 10. I have been using Active@ Disk Image now for 10 years with no problems or lost data.
Really glad I bough it
RealRedneck- Pros
- With just a USB (With Windows PE) and a backup external storage drive I have restored my Windows in a matter of minutes
- Cons
- No cons. But I would like to address complaints that the image creation is taking too long. People need to know that when imaging should take a long time since its has number of protocols that need to be confirmed before writing everything down, Also if you are imaging your C:\ partition it will take longer since it has thousands of files that need to be checked
- Summary
What do one expect? it''s free...
Jc Das- Pros
- good for system disk, image is less than half the size
- Cons
- not for backing up personal files, Image is 1.5 times larger than actual files... better to copy and paste
- Summary
- works well over all
Well-written app, lots of useful features for imaging.
riprap1951- Pros
- I've used Active@DiskImage on 20-30 occasions, including backing-up & restoring disks when changing out RAID drives, upgrading hard drives, etc. In my opinion it's reliable, easy to use, & loaded with intuitive features. Boot disc is nice, too.
- Cons
- NOTE: For those people who split up their hd's into partitions: I don't think the app has the capability to restore a specific partition to a specific partition on a different drive. It's designed to overwrite what's on the destination disk, period.
- Summary
- I think the app is an excellent value for the money, and would recommend it to a friend.
Win2008 Server was restored in 12 minutes
somik11- Pros
- Emergency boot CD creation is disabled in trial version
- Cons
- Fast speed & realistic pricing structure
- Summary
- I would just like to say that I am very impressed by Active@ line of products. Active@ Disk Image and Active@ Boot Disk are excellent softwares that allow me to recover my OS install from an image within a matter of minutes. Personally, I find these programs much more reliable and effective than the leading brand imaging software. Your programs are also much more light-weight and aren't plagued by the high failure-rate of the leading brand.
It will image OK but the restored image will not boot
fess99fess- Pros
- It is easy to install.
- Cons
- What good is an image if it will not boot? Go ahead, ask tech support if the restored image will boot. They give a vague answer about facilitating solutions but do not say it will boot.
- Summary
- The difference between this software and Acronis True Image is that Acronis will image your hard drive and when you restore it will boot into Windows, whatever version you imaged..
Disappointed
rrf100- Pros
- Simple to use.
- Cons
- My backup folders have been missing the image, thus useless. Also, although I set it up to keep only 1 copy, it keeps all the backups it makes.
- Summary
- This software is not ready to use.
It's One of the Best I Have Tried . . .
shodan816- Pros
- I've tested several disk imaging utilities and would have to rate this one on top. Considering ease of use, ability to restore an entire system, etc., this one really deserves your attention.
- Cons
- Compared to some other utilities in this category, the price is a bit steep. I would think $20 or $25 would be much more reasonable.
- Summary
- Highly recommend this program for complete system backup, IF you can afford it.
It did the trick...
PinnacleAdmin- Pros
- I liked the GUI and it worked well... plus it's fully functional for a trial period, so I managed to fix my disk for free! Thanks!
- Cons
- I wish it had some partition management of it's own, since it just opens the Windows "Disk Management" utility which was already giving me trouble so I needed to fix my partitions then I could use this to copy my disk.
- Summary
- Hey, it worked so I'm happy.
