| easiest, simplest 'tard proof way of copying a hard drive |

i have not seen that feature...i must be a version or two behind. lots of times when we clone a drive, it is because a motherboard or something failed and they bought a new PC...more often than not, we have had great success with cloning a drive from one PC and using it in another...occasionally we have to do a repair installation of windows, but it generally works pretty well. I'll have to check out the new version to see about this universal restore option though |

So this Acronis True Image programs seems pretty sweet but funds are lacking. To those who've used it: if I download the trial version and make a backup, will I be able to restore from that backup or does the backup itself expire somehow? |

i don't know how that works. it has been so long since i used the trial version...we got the full version once we used it and got to see out good it was.... but, if you use it to clone your hard drive to another one, i dont see how that could expire. if your drive gets messed up, you could always just swap it with the clone drive...then at that point you would be out of luck. |

I work for a major Healthcare org. We use Acronis for fast and dirty cloning. It's fast and *very* easy to use. |
