DESCRIPTION
This restore and backup solution from Acronis works really well on larger disks with incremental backups. In addition to that, the program enables you to update the boot.ini file to make Windows bootable from your personal computer. However, it may take 2 hours on the average to backup 100 GB. True Image Home is installed from a bootable CD. And the default configurations are all easy to set.

Pros
Ability to run the recovery CD to restore images. The program informs you of any updates available. Works well with Network-attached storage (NAS).

Features
Nonstop backup
File Synchronization
Online help included
The program offers the "Nonstop module". This means that True Image is able to frequently check for changes and then records only those changes as it detects them. Moreover, you can recover data at boot time and control a specific partition for storing backups to your hard disk.
- Status bar replaces basic information
- Blocks most spam
- Additional integration optionsl
- Can be integrated with Windows 7 backup
- Supports a wide range of backup device (external or internal HD)
It has a reasonable set of features: boot disc recovery, for example. As for incremental backup, they run slowly. The built-in backup in Windows 7 works so much better. Besides, when you shutdown the computer, the backup will not suspend itself.
At last, you can restore the files without have to manually launch the recovery option from the dashboard. You don't have to be a computer pro. That's what software should do!
