    Read in Acronis Forum " As in the title: if I install TIA in a different partition from C:\, D or similar - my HD has currently 4 partitions - my full backups and my restores will be all the same safely and working ?": so I too wonder if anyone experienced to use Acronis installed in another partition and if it runs.

    Based on the many negative user comments and reports that I've read about Acronis True Image you might want to reconsider installing it all together!

    You may just want to use the Acronis CD and run your backup offline.

    I have always installed it in C: and never had a problem since 4 years of using True Image

    I install all my programs in C: anyway, I keep D: for software folder applications (installation files) and E: for docs, music, vids, etc,

    Hi xxJackxx]
    I agree with you. The Recovery CD is the best way. [Acronis True Image Home [& Plus Pack]

    I started using Acronis back in August 2003 with v6.0, and still use it [Updated it ever year], still the easiest to use.

    It is very fast at both Imaging and Recovery, and it restore the correct alignment on recovery.

    Take Care

    yeah i install it in a VM then export the ISO of the recovery CD to my real system. this way it avoids any issues with uninstalling acronis
