'Good product but room for improvement of the customer service'Ĭomments: The software stores back-ups in different locations and does this quite well. Once I told it to ignore the errors, the clone worked great. It also supports building the recovery software into your backup drive so that if you need to do a bare metal restore, the software is all there.Ĭons: When cloning a drive with many errors, it seems to wait a long time before it asks you if you want to ignore them.

It performs traditional backups including full, incremental and diffierential as well as cloning entire drives. Pros: This program is very easy to use and very powerful. I was concerned cloning a traditional drive to an SSD but Acronis handled it with no problems. I had to reinstall a couple of drivers that were corrupted on the original drive but other than that the new drive works perfectly. I replaced the failing drive with the newly cloned SSD and the system booted right up. Although the drive was failing and had many errors, Acronis was able to successfully clone the drive. I installed the Acronis software and used it to clone the internal drive to an external USB drive with an SSD hard drive in it. 'The best backup software I've ever used'Ĭomments: I had a very old Windows 7 laptop that had a hard drive that was failing. The activation process said that I had installed it on too many computers, so I had to deactivate the previous installation before it would work. Add to that its affordability and the fact that it runs well on Windows 7, 8 and 10, and it's practically perfect!Ĭons: Well, the only problem I've had was solved pretty easily: I changed to a new workstation and tried to install the Acronis software I had purchased. It will do a clone of a Windows 10 system on a new hard drive that works perfectly.

I now recommend it to my customers as backup software, especially for Windows 10. It's also easy to set up scheduled backups and to choose different folders to include. No other software has actually given me a system image in this way that could be successfully and completely restored to a hard disk. Pros: It is very simple to use, and has some features I haven't seen in other backup software - at least not working! I have tried many different backup programs, and many of them say that they're backing up a full system image while it is running. It was very reasonably priced, and it has proven to be such a good tool that I can recommend it to my customers! Comments: I received a free version of Acronis TrueImage software with a hard drive that I purchased, and I liked it so much, I bought the full version.
