Is truly excellent backup and recovery software that actually works the way you would want it to. Two weeks ago the hard drive in my 3 year old Inspiron 8200 started to die (threw up some scary looking “umountable boot volume” errors. Through pure luck I was able to boot it once more and make a complete disk image using Norton Ghost.
Turns out Ghost blows. It can’t handle imaging and restoring a partitioned disk. I thought this was really bizarre since it is the industry standard backup software (at least we used it at IBM).
So after wasting a weekend futzing with my computer, I downloaded the demo version of Acronis and it worked the first time. It’s so great I might actually buy it. Yeah. That good.
