What Customers Say About Acronis True Image 11 Home [OLD VERSION]:

Norton had been destroying Ghost and AV for quite a few years. Ghost was the preferred choice for system imaging and it was simple, light, easy to use and straight forward, but Ghost 11 was a nightmare.Been using Acronis True Image for awhile now and it is a great program.

The irony of all of this is that a program designed to restore my hard drive wouNd up making it unusable. When our chat thread was unexpectedly broken I was sent a "form" email with instructions which assumed my machine was bootable.

With version 8 I was never able to restore a failed hard drive successfully. Being the sublime optimist, I purchased version 11 hoping for more.

This is my second BAD experience with Acronis products. Acronis now has a chat support system (greatly improved from version 8) BUT the tech (from India) kept instructing me to perform operations on a machine which would not boot.

I installed the product and, upon reboot, got a blue screen of death. This on anew Quad Core machine with 4 gigs of memory.

I finally had to restore my original system and am, at this moment laboriously re-installing all of my programs. DO NOT PURCHASE ACRONIS PRODUCTS.

The PC would read from a DVD for a second or two and then require a different DVD. The process was a nightmare. I needed to restore particular files from a backup on DVDs to a new PC. After about another 45 minutes, I gave up. First, I had to swap DVD's for at least 45 minutes just to get the directory tree to complete. Then, when I started to restore the files, the DVD swapping got ridiculous. Acronis support told me that DVD swapping hundreds of time is normal. This software may be fine for backing up to a tape drive or external hard drive, but don't even think of using it to backup to DVDs.

I have restored this about six times without a problem.A two disk ghost of an almost identical system does not restore. First and foremost, this software has no support from the developer. I tried twice, and both times the restoration process continually prompts me to change disks from the first to the last to the first to the last - you get the picture. If it works, that's great. If it doesn't, you're on your own.A single disk 'ghost' image of the entire hard drive seems to work fine. On the second restoration attempt after over a dozen disk changes (and no indication of any progress toward actually restoring the image) I just gave up.Acronis' online support was worse than useless. Searching both their FAQs and their forums resulted in advertisements for pretty much everything - but nothing that was even remotely related to the problem I was experiencing or a solution to it.

Once I did this I was able to do everything I wanted to do along with the Iomega Prestige 500 GB USB 2.0 External Destop Hard Drive which I also bought on Amazon. Well I have been using this Acronis True Image 11 since December 31, 2008. It was not so easy for me to use at first until I printed out the whole instructions for using it. I am new to computers so I expected to have a bit of trouble at first. I am pleased that I bought this instead of the Acronis True Home Image 2009 which has a poor rating from the reviews that I have read on Amazon website as well as other websites.
