Acronis True Image 10 Home

I did a search on the Dell Forums and found several trustworthy people recommending this Acronis program for backing up the computer.  Is it reliable with Vista?  I'm installing a trial version now, after I just did a factory image restore of my computer, which took a long time.  If this program is versatile and makes restoring the whole hard drive easy, I might buy it.

    Top notch software, the best imo.
     
    When you buy it, register the software at the Acronis website, then you can get free upgrades for that version, and it is always recommended to run the latest version. They have upgrades about twice a year or so, I check about every 3 months.
     
    Be sure to read ALL documentation before using, it is very powerful software with many features, you may not want to use all of them but is is always good to be informed.
     
     
     
     
    http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/support/updates/  updates page where you log in to get free updates, must register first.
     
     
    Be sure to image the entire drive all partitions, not just the C partition.

    I too recommend Acronis. I'm currently running it on XP and Vista machines. Great application!

    Hi
    If I choose to purchase Acronis on line and when I I am down-loading, Can I leave the virus scan active in the background.
    Or Is it better to order it and to obtain the disk and install it while not on line[so can  stop the virus scan in the background?]
     
    Thanking you

    It is not an issue, download it, no sense in having the media, since you will be upgraging to the latest version sometime in the future.

    I've been using Acronis True Image 10.0 Home with both Vista and XP, without a problem on several systems :)
