  "I have no patients for this software."

  by Charles K on April 27, 2008

  Pros: Not much other then it's free ans easy to use. Takes forever to clone 40 GB.

  Cons: But, I have no patients for this software. I certainly don't have 15 hours to spend cloning 49 GB. Acronis is risky because if you stop before God knows how long it takes to finish, your toast! Understand one think folks: I am in no way a fan of Norton products but Ghost in v12 or v14 is the very best software I've ever seen in 10 years of using a PC! I can do multi partitions to a multi partitioned hard drive and I can clone 40GB in under 90 minutes be it writing or recovering the clone. folks that are forced for whatever reason to rely on freeware might love this but I'd rather come off some cash and get what works best for me.

  "Easy and efficient"

  by keblensis on July 30, 2008

  Pros: A heplfile that is lucid and simple makes it easy to get going, even for a novice. The programme itself worked without a hitch for me and transferred 23gb of my basic drive to my external drive in 35 minutes. Take care: the drive you are copying onto is completely cleared of any pre-existing files before copying beings.

  "disgustingly slow"

  by jrbeaman on March 16, 2008

  Pros: Really easy to use. Clean layout and easy to understand and setup.

  Cons: cloning a 40 gig drive taking 15 hours, and still says3 hours to go.

  Estimated end sits at 3 to 4 hours to go,after 3 hours of copying.

  Using IDE drive to SATA drive, so it isn't the drives. I can do a straight copy,

  non-cloneing in less than 3 hours with windows explorer, so I know this is a dog.

  Norton Ghost takes 4.5 hours to do the same thing, but can't do different drives, and is hard to use. Yes, I am running in safe mode so nothing else is running.

  I am using the lite version to test it out. Don't know if the paid-for version is faster, but will not bother with it if the program is this bad.

  "THE BEST PARTITION CLONING PROGRAM I HAVE EVEN SEEN !"

  by Gablle on November 13, 2007

  Pros: This is the best partition cloning program I have even seen. It beats Acronis, Ghost etc it's the only cloning program that can clone a partition to a prtition with a smaller size. When the user boots up from the new cloned partition XXclone makes it automaticaly a default drive 'C so it can be used immediately as drive C. If the user boots up from the original drive then that one is drive C. Apart from offering an excellent backup facility it's Ideal for replacing disk drives without loosing one minute to reinstall the system and programs. It's also totally free. The paid version has little more extras.

  Cons: It's slow. It took 7 hours to clone a 32GB C drive. I use P4 3GH, 2GB memory and two 5400RPM drives + a 320GB USB drive. It has a shut down facility so one can leave it working over night and have it ready by morning. A high Tech skin would be an icing on the cake.

  "It's a great product. Highly recommended"

  by ColinWA on March 17, 2007

  Pros: From :- Col A. Sydney Australia.

  I had a notion that I would have a problem with my C:\ drive. I have backed up all data etc, but did not have a full copy of the drive. I downloaded XXCOPY ( prior version )

  and within 2 hours had a ready to go disk in an external hard drive case (USB 2.0). I needed to install it from the external case to put it in my main system case so it would be my new C:\ drive. This only took about 30 mins by the time I unplugged everything and marked the cables so I had it easy to reconnect. Then opened the external case, removed the drive then put it in my main system case as the primary drive as it was set active in XXCLONE. It's great.

  Cons: I have not tried any other functions as yet, so can't comment. eg,. incremental backup. Will be using this soon.
