Are Migrate Easy and True Image the same??

I have Migrate Easy 7.0 installed. I was told that Acronis True Image 9.0 is just an upgrade from M.E. Is this true?

Also, will Acronis True Image 9.0 clone a drive like Me 7.0 will??

Thanks in advance.

 

No, True Image 9.0 is not just an upgrade from ME7. True Image is an imaging program designed for taking backup images of your system.

BUT

Acronis have incorporated 100% of Migrate Easy into True Image. In TI, the cloning/migrating functions (as distinct from the backup/imaging functions) are actually Migrate Easy. Because ME forms (a small) part of TI, yes, it can clone a drive like ME 7.0.

 

All that's true. An interesting thing though. I had AME installed. Then I installed ATI. And ATI deleted my install of AME. I wondered why till I found out what previous poster said.

 

Thanks Ozmaniac and Zapjb.

Q:

Is there much difference between ATI 8 and ATI 9??

Thanks

 

Main differences are: ATI9 has differential backup, file based backup and a thing called Snap Restore (that seems to cause more problems than it solves). It has had quite a few problems, but most are sorted out now and it works well for the vast majority of people.
