Best Acronis True Image?

I have since version 9, 10, 11. 2010, 2011, I can update to V. 2012 or change to Paragon

Version 11 did not work for me

But for you which is the best ATI version?

 

My opinion? Echo probably...my favorite was version 8 (way back when)...stable as anything and worked on my servers flawlessly.

 

I do not have version 8 But ok lets include to the version list

 

True Image Echo 9.x was the best for me. No longer produced and does not work on 7 or 2008r2, does work on Vista and 2008. For the home versions I would say the 2010. Never liked the 2011. I recently purchased the 2012 and I like it but it is buggy. There is a service that leaks handles at the rate of 1 per second. It is for the sync so I disabled it. Don't plan to use that feature anyway. Hoping for an update to fix it. It would be a really nice product if it were bug free which it may never be.

 

For offline images though, Echo should work as the file system is supported, but yes, it won't install. Sorry to hear 2012 is so buggy...

 

I have Echo 9.x also, so the list will be

ATI Version 8
ATI Echo version 8.x
ATI Version 9
ATI Echo version 9.x Does not work on Vista, 7, 2008, 2008r2
ATI Version 10
ATI Version 11
ATI Version 2010
ATI Version 2011
ATI Version 2012 Sill it is buggy (latest version)

 

Version 2011 works fine so far on my Win7x64 system !

 

all the home versions that i tried worked perfectly fine for me, but then again i only used them for on demand full disk imaging, never ever tried all the bells and whistles/bloat which is probably why things just worked for me.

 

I've had v6, then v9.
V9 has worked like a charm through backups, restorations and cloning.
Never failed and quite dependable.
Last December I upgraded to 2010, but have never installed it.
V9 works too good for me to want to mess with it.

 

This means with version 2012 If I install Adobe Suite, after an image restoration, I do not have to register the software again and with previous versions I have to?

 

Yes indeed V9 I still use it on my old XP home notebook, it is a bit slow, but I've never had any errors and always perfect restorations. I would not buy Acronis again though.

 

No need to pay (especially for home users) with excellent free options like Paragon.

Yes, pretty much all versions of Windows with 64-bit included. If you include Recovery Media, then virtually all OS.

 

ATI or Paragon?

 

Acronis just updated the 2011 version to build 6942 and now the recovery media recognizes perfectlly keyboard, mouse and my USB 3 external HDD. Great !

Paragon Free Home users Windows All (?)

 

Nobody has answered my question

 

Clearly Paragon, the one you've questioned.

 

All of Echo works on Vista.
I have been able to use Echo agent & console on 7. Standalone does not install as has been mentioned.

 

If Adobe suite was installed *after* the last image you made, whatever the imaging software, you'll lose the install if you restore your PC. If not, that wouldn't be an image.

 

Incorrect, it does work on Vista and Server 2008. I think it was 9.6 but it did work. I wish they had updated it for 7, I would still be using it.

 

I run the BART CD version of v9 (~25MB) on Win7 and install the SnapAPI driver manually.

 

I used 2011 for like half a year and it was great (Both on x64 and x86 OS's)

 

has anyone here tried Easus or Comodo ?
