5.0 out of 5 stars Well designed and well working product, February 16, 2005

I tried both, norton ghost 9.0 and R-driveimage 2 first but those two did not work well at all. Ghost 9.0 could not see my external USB drive. R-driveimage 2 trialversion crashed a couple times.
Acronis trialversion worked right away. It can be used to image a drive while windows is running(!) and the bootable recovery CD worked right away. It could see all my drives. A good experience for a change! I recommend this productly strongly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now that Symantec has destroyed Powerquest products..., February 18, 2005

By 

Carlos 'Catel' "an IT veteran" - See all my reviews

Now that Symantec has bought Powerquest and succeeded in destroying their product line (PowerQuest Drive Image replaced with the inferior Norton Ghost, and Powerquest Partition Magic 8.x crippled with "activation" and other annoying anti-piracy measures), Acronis TrueImage becomes the best option out there.

I'm using an earlier release, not 8.0, but I can recommend it wholeheartedly. A great product, well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great BACKUP solution, April 28, 2005

Although I've been a big supporter and user of Norton (Symantec) products since way back to 1988, specialized utilities like disk imaging and partitioning have not been well implemented by Peter Norton. The developers at Acronis have disk imaging down. This application works beautifully and takes a "snapshot" of your entire hard drive in no time. This makes an excellent backup solution, so that you don't just end up backing up your "My Documents" folder (and all those mp3s and pictures you have). By taking a disk image, you capture all those little settings you have made, so that if anything goes wrong with your current hard drive, you can simply pop in a new hard drive, boot up to the rescue media boot CD that Acronis True Image can create for you and bingo! You're back in business. This is a top-notch piece of software and I would highly recommend it for expert or novice users alike.
