[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 896155, member: 69368"] I've just installed Acronis True Image HD to check it out after posting here. The installation process gave me no choice as to where to install it, I install software wherever possible onto a seperate partition to the OS, its an old habit that has helped to get me out of jail in the past. So it is installed on the drive that I want to clone and to use it I have to set up an Acronis account to access Acronis Cloud, sync my data and obtain free updates. I won't be using this software or storing anything on Acronis cloud, there has been no information provided prior to registering about that services data protection policies etc. Its Acronis so I'd hope that they are hot on security, but without being more open about where it is stored, what sort of encryption is included etc etc I am not going to blindly sign up to it. I can research all of that and more, but if they can't be more open from the outset, leaving users to find the information, I can't be bothered to do that. Macrium Reflect it will be, especially now [USER=54432]@Cortex[/USER] has reported their success in using it too. [/QUOTE]
