Customer Reviews

Won't install - look elsewhere
Looking for a RAID 0 backup solution (Vista backup failed me recently) and this seemed to tick all the boxes.

After reading the reviews decided on a 'try before buy' policy and downloaded the trial. Tried the install twice under 32 bit Vista Home Ultimate and it dumped out of the install process both times. Tells me all I need to know - caveat emptor.

Oh well - plan B I guess. This doesn't get off first base.

Amazed
I used Acronie True Image 10 for almost a year (my husband is using it now on a geriatric PC running Windows XP Pro) before I upgraded to Acronis 11 with XP Pro & Office Pro on my newish desk top. No, not Vista yet! Everthing runs smoothly to our chosen schedules and is backed up to an external hard drive. I had early issues with running out of space despite setting the required allocation for one Full back up followed by 6 Differentials, according to the manual which I downloaded in full. Why not give their Tech Help a phone call as I did, to get the space allocation sorted. At 1p. a minute to the USA its hardly a big deal! Both work flawlessly for both of us, and sends emails to confirm the backups have been successful or not, whichever is the case. But for that, I would give it the full 5 stars. The message is RTFM!! You can even do a try out with v.11, so what is the fuss!

Unreliable
I bought this product a few weeks ago and although installation was OK I wish I had never bothered. I'm using it with Vista and backing up to a NAS drive. Most files backup without problems but it fails with Outlook data files. I bought backup software for piece of mind. Reliability is paramount. My Outlook data files are in the order of 100Mb, the backup file is 50Kb and is missing all info apart from the file structure. I have tried re-installation. I have tried full and incremental backups. I have contacted Acronis 3 times and have not had a reply to any of my messages. I'm now using a 60-day free trial of Norton Ghost (available from Symantec US not UK) which seems to be working reliably. Acronis is also available as a free trial download. I would suggest you try that first before spending money. I would accept the bug if Acronis appeared to care but given their lack of reply I'm loosing patience.
