Review by John K

When you buy the software other than the manufacturer, Acronis makes you pay the cost saving by torturing you with zillions of questions to validate your purchase. They are extremely neurotic in suspecting all non direct sales could be people who steal their software. Yes, it is not easy product to use. But it is definitely more reliable than the old Norton Ghost before Symantec retires. From what I read on reviews, I did not dare to try Symantec’s newer backup software.

I did test the restore on both of my PC’s. It does work flawlessly. If you want to restore one or more files, it took a little working to figure it out. All in all, Acronis (unlike one ancient version I bought a decade ago ) is a reliable product and worth the money for sure.
