Time with product: 4 Years

Strengths: Excellent functionality and performance.

Weaknesses: Support is terrible. Days and weeks can go by without a reply. The WORST support I have ever seen from a software vendor.

Summary: I have been using Acronis products for the last four years or so. There are gliches in almost every release but once you get through them, the software works well and for the most part is trouble free...BUT...the support is awful. If you're a novice or casual user, stay away from this heartache.

Strengths: From what I have read, more dependable that version 10. Worked flawlessly the first time on my XP machine

Weaknesses: None

Summary: Finally I am not afraid of backups anymore, with the advent of cheap external hard drives, and programs like this. Disk imaging takes up space, but with huge external drives, who cares how many complete drive images you have? I don't, and will never again worry about a dead primary drive. True Image installed easily and just worked for me, the first time out. No complaints.

Strengths: Backs up files faster than Ghost while requires less disk space; easier to use than Ghost; includes systems clean up wizard; compatible with Windows Vista, XP and 2000

Weaknesses: Not yet as popular as Ghost.

Summary: After having used Ghost for many years, I tried the Acronis True Image 11 Home and love it. It is much easier to use while does not have any problem with reading and writing to certain types of disks. I like its speed in backing up files, data, applications, OS or the entire PC system, and the resulting backup files are much smaller than those created by Ghost. Copying an entire disk to another disk of different size is a quite simple and problem free with Acronis. That makes the task of upgrading the booting hard drives on my PC systems less challenging. It also has some security and privacy tools built in so that you could safely destroy sensitive data and clean up your PC system. I highly recommend it.
