I own and run Acronis version 2010, 2013, and 2015 running on various computers. 2008 was the best. What happened to being able to right click a backup and have it validated...or double click a backup, select one file, and restore, or restore the image. Now you have the interface with all the backups to scroll through, and of course Acronis can't do anything unless the backup is put there... and to restore a single file you have to load the image file on a drive and get it that way. Acronis has it's good points but it is only gotten worse as they have tried to make it more accessible to end users who don't know what they are doing, and market their Cloud subscriptions which I see as a hopeless endeavor. They will only be able to sell the Cloud subscription for a while to those who don't know better.

I've stayed with Acronis and am running version 2015. Yes, the interface is a bit more complex, but I think it's still a good one. Others that you might want to look at would be Macrium Reflect, Aoemi Backerupper, or Easesus To-do backup. Paragon's product is also worth a look. -- Vincent Winterling Vineland, NJ > -----Original Message----- > From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On > Behalf Of Winterlight > Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 1:18 PM > To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com > Subject: [H] backup image > > What is the collective using for backup imaging software these days? > I started out with Disk Image but when Norton/Symantec bought them > and screwed them up with their usual Nortification procedure (how many > great apps has Norton ruined) I switched to Acronis.
