Hi Leo,
I just bought a new computer and was planning on buying Acronis True Image to take an image of my machine before doing anything else as i don't have installation software of any kind. However when looking at your video i noticed that you are using the 30 day trial period that you have downloaded for the purpose of this demonstration. So, my question is....if i were to also do the same(switch on windows firewall in windows 7 and connect to the net) and then download the trial version does that mean that i will get the full software with all it's features including of course, the ability to make a full image of my machine for 30 days? ....i don't really have any plans as of now for using acronis true image beyond making a first image of my machine....at least for now....and if so i guess there would be no reason for me to purchase the software right? Maybe you could mention this point in your article.

Your Reply would be greatly appreciated.
P.S : By the way...wonderful site...easily the best in it's category that i've found on the web! thanks for the help!

If you don't want to spend a lot of money for Acronis, you may take a look at Handy Backup - the cheaper but reliable solution.

If you do upgrade, you should FIRST make your bootable media(and copies of it).
Then upgrade and make bootable media(and copies of this).
I am on ATI Home 2010.
I am struggling with migrating my current hard drive to an upgraded hard drive in the same computer.
I know there are some iffy things (errors) in the software.
Check the Acronis forums as this has registered users' complaints(I think this is how you access and post there...)
See what is said about each version(and slight upgrades) and how this might affect YOUR target uses.

I purchased Acronis v9 but have not yet used it. Is there any reason to upgrade to v10? One of your comments says to use the latest version only. Why?
