The software loaded and installed on the first attempt, and it allowed me to create a full backup of my machine including OS and files. It is clearly written and easily understood it breaks down the steps needed to create a full system backup so that the layperson can do so easily. The user manual extracted as a PDF file, was easy to navigate, and explains exactly how to use the software. The ZIP for the Acronis WD software downloaded quickly and extracted cleanly. I purchased a 2TB WD external USB drive the other day and figured I'd give the Acronis WD Edition software a try since I had the machine stable for a while. I have an especially cranky Dell XPS15 running Windows 7 Pro - I've had to re-image the drive several times, and I've grown tired of the lengthy process needed to do so using the 5 or so DVDs that I burned using the W7 Backup & Restore > System Image wizard. This thing's getting a one-way trip to the recycle bin once I hit submit on this review. Only for it to say the uninstall failed because "the subkey cannot be found". By the time I was waiting OVER an hour for it to move on from File Exclusions, I just gave up on it and decided to try EaseUS instead.Īnd the cherry on top: TWICE now when trying to uninstall this garbage, it has managed to CRASH MY F***ING FILE EXPLORER. So I get up the next day and have to wait a similar close-to-an-hour's worth of time to advance to each following step. ![]() I had to go to sleep because it was verging on 3 in the morning, and I was waiting forever for the program just to advance to the next menu option after analyzing the source disk. THAT'S RIGHT! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO THE ACTUAL DISK-CLONING PROCESS! The disk-cloning tool is unimaginably slow. Installs a shit-ton of bloatware onto my system that runs like a dozen processes in the background. ![]() Idk how the other tools in the suite work, so I can only speak to my own experience with the disk-cloning feature, but I felt like I was in the twilight zone. If it does not I am thinking to use true image and then mirror both drives, externally and restore but then merge the two drives somehow to be one again.I made an account on this website JUST so I could talk about how garbage this program is for disk-cloning. What I am not sure about is if the restore function also reinstalls the keys and any custom apps and settings I have installed or simply restores via the registery the keys or does it image the configs and overright teh keys but also files it restores and any custom files or tweaks? I was considering using the backup function and restore using that to the new laptop. I was looking to image but then thought it may not work well as I have 2 HDDs on the old and the new would be a single HD. ![]() Data was hosted on the second drive so I have been having a good clean and reduced the file size down.Īs I have a number of Adobe Apps but also mods I have purchased over the years, I really dont want to have to go find the keys and software installs. However my old laptop had 2 hdd's (128gb +1tb) and the new will be a single (1tb). ![]() Historically I would have used true image and images the drive and restored on to the new, let it then fix the images and move on. Now I am moving laptops and have a lot of software installed on my old laptop. So I have Acronis True Image 2019 which I have not used in years but I paid for it and was happy with it. I did try to google teh answer but got missed messages.
