  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Excellent Drive Image Tool; works with plug-in drives

  Weaknesses: Doesn't work from Windows

  Overall Evaluation: I have always used Norton Ghost for drive imaging, but decided to give this one a try as an alternative. Thus far, I am very much impressed...WHEN YOU USE IT FROM DOS MODE!! Don't bother installing it on your Vista system if you only intend to use the drive imaging functions. If you intend to use the backup utilities (which I don't use), then you will need to install it.I would initiate a drive image from within windows, the computer would reboot, then the drive image function would start up. It would finish in about 2-seconds, indicating that everything went okay. Of course, nothing was actually done, and it didn't tell you this! However, if you insert theh disc into your CD/DVD drive and boot from you, you can perform drive images w/out issues. It worked perfectly, and the GUI is extremely intuitive. It also worked with a variety of USB/eSATA plug-in drives.

  Strengths: Works well with VistaBackups are simple and does

  Weaknesses: None as of today

  Overall Evaluation: Acronis 11 worked like a dream and I never had any issues taking a backup. The back up process was very smooth and the user interface is very well designed. It took me minutes to learn the imaging process and I love this tool. I recommend this over Norton Ghost to anyone who would need a imaging tool.

  Strengths: Very easy to set up and use, easy and convenient to append backups

  Weaknesses: None yet

  Overall Evaluation: I thought that making a complete and error-free backup would be a bit more difficult than this... But, to my surprise, I have absolutely no problems using this software at all! It was easy to understand and use the very first time, and as far as I can tell, it will be easy to use when I really need it if my PC ever crashes and/or I need to do a total reformat for any reason. The price after rebate was phenomenal! For less than 20 bucks I have total peace of mind again! Everything I need that I have stored I have no more fear of losing!

  Strengths: Easy Installation.Great Scheduler.Incremental Backups.

  Weaknesses: Have to play around with it to get the hang of the product, wish there was more documentation.

  Overall Evaluation: I have tried Norton Ghost, NTI Backup in the past when I thought they were great, but this product far beats them hands down. I use a lot of the "Smart Scheduling" feature and I worry less about doing bakups. Incremental backups are great use can see arevision history of your documents. Other bundled toosl like drive cleanser helps eliminate the need of other drive erasing software.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: powerful drive imaging, supports multiple OS, supports migration from one drive to another

  Weaknesses: documentation insufficient

  Overall Evaluation: I was researching backup and recovery products primarily for - backups of most important data - pictures and home videos - swapping out the smaller hard drive in my PC with a larger one. The Acronis True Image 11 Home has helped in both aspects. The backups have been effortless. I ran into some difficulties during the migration to a larger hard drive - that's when I found the documentation to be a bit lacking. Though, nothing that can't be found on the web by a little bit of searching. Liked the Try & Decide feature too. Overall, I am satisfied with the product.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Consistently performs disc backup and recovery.

  Weaknesses: Not that I can think of

  Overall Evaluation: I have saved hours of time in restoring my XP PC a few times. Compared to this software, XP's restore is such a joke. I have 2 back up jobs: 1. complete disc image of the OS partition, 2. incremental back up of data. I use full backup for task no1 because I noticed the incremental backup file isn't much smaller, because the OS gets changes fairly often. I highly recommend getting this software. If it saves you once it would be worth it!

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: complete hard drive copy

  Weaknesses: have some problem when installing in vista

  Overall Evaluation: The function of complete hard drive copy is really useful and powerful. I feel much safer after I used this software to backup my system; however, this product seems having some problem with vista system. Hopefully, they can improve it in the future version.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: comprehensive tools make back-up quick and easy

  Weaknesses: takes some time to learn

  Overall Evaluation: Still the best way to make a streamlined and exact back-up process for your data security goals. If you don't have this type of software, back-ups take forever to capture all of the data items from emails to docs. I do complete back-ups monthly and this software makes it a snap to achieve.

  Strengths: Easy installation and easy setup. Documentation is clear and is supplied as a PDF file which is good for use on the road.

  Weaknesses: None found yet!

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased this for my Maxtor One Plus hardrive which the supplied software would not work on my Vista machine. Maxtor(Seagate) gave me a copy of their DiskWizard software which is a dumbed down version of the Acronis software. It worked well so I decided to purchase the full version and I am glad I did.
