impressed by acronis

your mileage may vary, but i am impressed

i just installed disc director suite and true image, and lo and behold, it works on my asus k8ne nforce3 mainboard with sata drives, creating images, restoring images, disk partitioning, boot selector, the whole shebang... i just wished it would have been somewhat cheaper, ahum

in fact, it works well, has a very 'candy' interface (a little too much, but ok), even works from the boot sector (i wonder how they figure out where all the files on the disk stay, because i haven't got a clue where else those are) and even works together with their imaging tool true image...

i think partition magic disappears on the 'use it on old pc's' catagory...

only, acronis, please a little bit less eye candy, it slows me down...

Acronis True Image is great. I've used their server version too. Highly recommended.

just make sure it works with your chipset, nforce3 users beware...
