oo, im going to try that out.I haven't tried Acronis myself, but I tried a few freeware backup applications and the best one that isn't Acronis seemed to be Comodo Backup.
I don't know if it's the best, but I've had no issues with Acronis. I'm using the free version you can get from Western Digital's website for making archived backups for the last year.
The drive also has to be visible. I did a hardware RAID on mine and Acronis wouldn't install because it couldn't see any of my WD drives.Note that the WD version requires a WD drive if used on SATA.
I hope this isn't just a fan thread... I am not happy with Acronis as of late. The True Image Echo line was pretty good, but the 2010 was riddled with issues until the last build and though I really like the interface of the 2011, I didn't find it very reliable in my testing. If they could iron out the reliability issues it would be great. The last time I tried Norton Ghost (recently) it would not even work correctly for me. O&O DiskImage has been very reliable but the incremental backups take longer than the full. I am not very pleased with the state of backup software in general. Even the built in Windows 7 backup isn't bad but I can't use it on my laptop due to 1 file that is locked and it just craps out there and won't finish. I wish these software companies would get out of the mentality that they have to crank out a new version every year and just put out a good solid product and sit on it for 2 or 3. A slick interface don't mean crap if I can't use the software.
Well, I have used Acronis, as well as Norton Ghost 15. I didn't care for the Ghost program. I have been looking at software that works well, etc...The Acronis 2011 Home edition seems to have issues where it keeps the machine from rebooting.
I went back to Acronis 2010 because it seemed to simply work. But I have had restore issues sometimes, so I haven't felt confident in that program either. So I have been trying to find alternatives that work well. The free ones seem to not do well. And I hate to pay for something when I am unsure if it will work well.
SO it is not an Acronis fan thread. I am genuinely looking at good alternatives.
I've been using Comodo, and it seems to be very good, especially for free.
Check out Paragon's stuff, too.
