For my hard drive replacement this weekend, I used a free version of Acronis True Image which I've used before. I like the software quite a lot. I'm tempted to ante up the $50 for a one-computer license and use its incremental backup facility.
Has anyone here used it? Any opinions?
Thanks
I use it and it's fast and painless. The downside (and it's big enough to make me consider other products when upgrade time rolls around) is the continual nagging to sign up for their cloud service, which interests me not in the least. The latest update somehow activated a cloud account with them, then nagged me for 30 days to pay for it or lose it (didn't want it, so losing it was fine with me). No way to just tell it to stop.
Since the trial account expired, though, I haven't been nagged.
