Acronis 2009 for free#

I have Seagate hard drives so I could even get the somewhat stripped down version of True Image that Seagate provides for free (DiscWizard) and make a new bootable disc with the latest and greatest version but it's just not of any interest to me.

Maybe I'm lucky, who knows, but True Image still works for me and I still to this day see zero reason to get a new version. I've never had an issue with this strategy, and after using it since oh, 2008-ish, I've done a few hundred images and I've never lost a single byte of data, never had any corruption, never lost an image or never been able to restore one. My system partition is only 80GB in size and since I move most of the important content off to a secondary location I end up with a typical usage of about 25-40GB which gets crunched down in the image. I do an image maybe once a week and it takes like 10 mins, not something I worry about. That's about it, a process that's fairly simple and also probably used by many other folk as well. image the small boot partition (System Reserved) and the system partition (C) and do a verify when the image is done, always (I have a second Storage partition on my primary drive but I don't include that in the image) reboot off the Acronis True Image CD I have

defrag the system partition using Auslogics Disk Defrag Professional (yet another freebie one time when I was paying attention) move excessively large files and my entire Downloads folder content to a secondary partition (sometimes an external physical drive depending on the situation) get rid of temp files/etc using CCleaner which is good enough for the task My particular workflow when doing an image is:

I've never seen any reason to update it because I don't use the actual Windows software - I only image my machine from the bootable media burned to a CD-R when I got it.

Having said that, I still use True Image (I think my version is from 2010 or so when they had a free registration offer once). I've never done live imaging except in testing and it was ok I suppose, but I just never got into it. I've never trusted making 'live images' even with True Image which has been my go-to imaging app for many years now. Why is it that newer usually ends up being worse when it comes to software? It happens all the time. Probably I will have to go back to Acronis 2009 and use the 2016 boot discs until I can find a better solution. I'm looking for functionality and reliability. When I complained that Acronis 2009 couldn't read the images created by Acronis 2016, he said, 'Acronis 2016 can read Acronis 2016 backup files.' (No shit, Sherlock.) (The current one(s) worked fine with Acronis 2009.)Ģ. Here are two suggestions from the tech at Acronis:ġ. I'd also have to use 2016 boot discs because, as I said, the 2009 boot discs stopped recognizing my hard drives somewhere along the way. I would go back to Acronis 2009, but it won't read the images made by the 2016 version.

as specified.Ĭan someone recommend good backup software that will do lots of incremental backups after the initial full backup and doesn't choke after a simple defrag? It needs to come with a boot disc that will see all the storage devices on my system. It performed the validation tasks at 2:30 p.m. If you use a new C drive, you have to erase the backup drives and start over.Ģ. I can no longer do this with Acronis 2016 because it sees the new hard drive as a new hard drive and not as drive C. With Acronis 2009, I would occasionally restore to a new hard drive and pop it in just to make sure the images were not corrupted. It won't let me swap out my C drive with another hard drive and continue with backups because it tags every hard drive as a separate entity.

Other things I hate about Acronis True Image Home 2016:ġ. This served me well with the 2009 version, which didn't have this brand new 'feature' as the tech called it. There is only room for one full backup on my backup hard drives. This only allowed me 8 incremental backups after the initial full backup. It turns out that after you defragment your hard drive (mine defrags automatically can't remember how often), Acronis True Image Home 2016 has to make a new full backup of your hard drive. My recent hard drive crash necessitated that I 'upgrade' to Acronis True Image 2016 because the Acronis 2009 boot disc didn't recognize my hard drives. My old version of Acronis True Image 2009 used to make one full backup and then dozens of incremental backups on my two internal backup drives.
