I have acronis TI installed so T&D but i rarely used it, maybe i should take a deeper look on it ; but i am not sure about its efficiency against malwares (SD was made for it)
I know nothing about Acronis T&D antimalware efficiency since I used it to test rather safe software, mainly giveaways.
And the feature I loved most was just that reboot wasn't ruining my test period !
After reinstalling my system (W7 x64) few weeks ago I changed my imaging software. Instead of Acronis I am now using Paragon Disk Manager Pro (all disk & partition tasks including backup, preapering for vm and more.).
What I didn't like about Acronis was the whole bunch of startup entries and running processes + unnecessary tasks in Task Manager (I don't use incremental backups). This was the reason I switched to Paragon.
In order to keep my system slim I don't even have Paragon installed; I run it only from bootable cd. (that way chances are my backlup will be more reliable).
The only thing I really miss about Acronis is just T&D. I read this thread looking for replacement.
Got free Shadow Defence license . i appreciate its bullet proof safety, but still miss the features of T&D !
It looks like the only solution for having everyting in one app. would be Diskshot.
But the download isn't currently available from their site.
BTW do you know what's going on with Diskshot now ? I mean - after 2014-07-19 (deadline for free licenses) ?
Did they finally preapared any english translation ? Personally I doubt. Pity .... :-(((((
