Expired Softpedia 10 Year Anniversary: 50 Licenses for Acronis True Image Home 2012

[NathanF1]

Most users already know that Acronis True Image Home is a backup and recovery solution, but those familiar with the suite know that it is much more than just that. We have 50 licenses for the product, for all those that want to take advantage of its powerful hard disk recovery features as well as imaging abilities.
...

Apart from creating and restoring images, the functionality of the bundle is extensive and allows you to create bootable discs or USB devices to run the software offline, mount images as virtual drives, convert them to VHD format and boot from them (Boot Sequence Manager) on Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise; or simply run various applications in a sandboxed environment (Try&Decide) that does not apply any changes to the real system, unless you want to.

Even if i got it free i wouldnt want it, i find it too bloated and i can get a free alternative that will do all i need it to do

 

[NathanF1]

Suit yourself

There are excellent free options available - link to a MT thread.

To me, out of the three discussed in the thread Paragon is the bloated one. I don't have experience with EaseUS [feature packed] and can't comment on how reliable it is, and with imaging software the $64K question is will it restore a system image properly if and when required? I used Macrium Free for a very long time and was very happy with it.

Back on topic, ATIH is very good, has been reliable for me, it's considerably faster than Macrium. The only issues I'm having with it are:

• that the updates aren't actually updates, but a full download of the new version [160+ MB]
• Plus Pack is required for:
  • Ability to Restore to Dissimilar Hardware
  • Dynamic Disk Support
  • WinPE Support

Was your reply aimed at me, becaue I was on about never hearing of Macrium not Acronis as we all know it's well known brand.
