 Good for some things, not for others October 24, 2008
I purchased this product to clone my C: drive and swap it out. For that operation TI performed flawlessly. It was easy to use and pretty intuitive. I swapped the drives, booted it right up, and the machine has operated without issue.
That said, I also read some great reviews on the backup capabilities of the product. Unfortunately, I have not been able to successfully create a backup. Stepping through the procedure was not too difficult, but the software consistently hangs up when it completes the task, leaving the backup image unusable. There's not much to it, so there aren't a lot of settings to tinker with.
It performed the main task I bought it for, so I can't complain too much, but I have to say it becomes a little tedious when you experience a problem.
 Wow what a great program October 24, 2008
this is a great product and it was very easy to use. very user friendly and it didnt take long to back up my entire hard drive.
 Causes MBR Error 2 on my machine with Vista Ultimate October 21, 2008
Acronis caused an MasterBootRecord (MBR) Error 2 on my machine. Acronis support's solution involves my buying another Vista license (my machine came with a preload). This is unacceptable; since it is not reasonable to spend hundreds of dollars to repair a bug caused by a $34 piece of software.
Just wouldn't work October 19, 2008
Slow to install and when I finally got it installed it wouldn't work properly. Even though I finally got it to recognize an external hard drive I kept getting the message that the backup was going to the source drive. Apparently this is one of many issues. No response from Acronis support. I sent it back to Amazon. Always buy from Amazon - no problems with returns.
It Works Fine For Me October 17, 2008
I was using Norton Ghost to do backups and while that seemed to work okay, I really wasn't comfortable using a Norton/Symnatec product because I've found them all to be bloatware. So I gave Acronis a try. I set it up using Windows XP and had no trouble installing the program, nor adjusting the settings to make my initial backup as well as scheduling regular incremental backups thereafter. I used the feature of the software that creates a secured partition on the backup drive that can't be accessed by the operating system. This partition does appear to be secure because Windows Explorer doesn't see it, and it is immune to the format command, as well.
The backups ran as scheduled, no problem. Then I upgraded to Vista, using a clean install, rather than backing up the old and restoring on the new because I wanted to clean out some stuff that I no longer wanted. Acronis installed just as easily on Vista, no problems.
Couple of things: One, Acronis has more flexibility with scheduling regular tasks than does Ghost, and has more features as well. Second, I have not actually had to use the restore function yet; I have only been backing up my discs but not restoring anything. So this review is qualified in that sense because I can't tell you if it does what it is supposed to do. But so far, everything I had done has worked smoothly and the instructions are easy enough to follow. I would recommend this as a backup solution.
