Many Quirks,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Acronis True Image 6.0 (CD-ROM)
I bought this product on the basis of its high user ratings. But I found many quirks that get in the way of it performing its simple tasks. The software, its documentation, and Acronis's website don't answer some obvious questions. What's worse is that there is no telephone support for installation and first use, with a tepid promise of an e-mail tech support response in 48 hours. Here are some of the many quirks that put stumbling blocks in the way of easy use: 1) Right out of the box, the serial number isn't on the diskette envelope but gets lost in a collection of papers including advertising and a slim user manual that has no alphabetized subject index. The serial number location is not revealed in any versions of the product manual or help functions. I stumbled across it and was finally able to install it. 2) Online registration didn't "take" when I didn't fill out one field. I selected Back to re-enter the information and got an error message that my serial number had already been registered. Then I received an e-mail notice that registration was successful. 3) I then attempted to create a disk image on an HP CD-Writer, formatting disks with the lite version of EasyCDCreator 5.0. Acronis cranked for 20 minutes, acting as if it were recording the image on the disk. Then it spit out the disk with an error message that my media may be faulty. I was able to record a file on the same disk using Windows Explorer. But, there is nothing in any of the documentation to tell the user what type of disk format is required. So, I tried this with both CD-R and CD-RW, with no luck. An e-mail to tech support was answered the next day with the suggestion that I insert a blank disk. I did that, but the product didn't recognize an unformatted disk. 4) I finally used the Acronis Rescue Media Builder to create a disk. However Media Builder must be restarted after formatting each disk, even though 7 are required for my disk image. It now seems to be working, but this shouldn't be so hard! 4) The documentation has many grammatical errors that read as if it has never been gone over by a technical writer. If the company allows this many errors in functionality and documentation, how clean is their code? Can I count on it working if my hard drive crashes? When I shell out [$$$]for utility software, I want and expect documentation and functionality that makes it easy to use. I expect the standard telephone support and comprehensive online troubleshooting guides offered by other software manufacturers. This product has the look and feel of a beta test, not version 6.0.

Outstanding software is a lifesaver,
By
This review is from: Acronis True Image 6.0 (CD-ROM)
This software is outstanding. I never thought I'd need to use imaging software, but bought it for the purpose of helping me migrate between old and new disk drives. Little did I know that the images that I created would be used to completely restore my system when it crashed a few weeks later due to a nasty XP IP stack problem (another story entirely). Both imaging and restoral was extremely fast (a 15GB restoration took less than 30 minutes -- to a completely bootable, operational machine)!Both the imaging process and the restoral were absolutely flawless with True Image. Furthermore, the software is extremely well executed, making the myriad choices that are required to to specify the backup/restore operations a piece of cake. The ease of use and attention to detail present in this software bring to mind other classic "must have" utilities, such as Power Quest's Partition Magic and WinZip. Now, if only companies like Symantec, Network Associates, and Microsoft would follow suit... I cannot speak highly enough of Acronis True Image. It is truly exceptional software that I will not do without in the future. Well worth the price.

Excellent backup all data is now protected,
By
This review is from: Acronis True Image 6.0 (CD-ROM)
The application works as advertised!I've installed it on a Windows Home XP, created a bootable recovery CD (there is also a bootable floppy option) and proceeded to backup and compress my main hard disk to a secondary one. I was able to mount the backup volume like a virtual drive and navigate the volume. This offers an additional option over a full restore, just pick a file(s) or directory and copy it. I suggest not backing up to the same hard disk but to a second physical one, not to be confused with an additional drive created with a partition.
