Free Acronis 10

http://lifehacker.com/5144248/get-ac...-image-10-free

edit: this was noted in a later post. This version seems to be limited to drive imaging and the data back up scheme removed.
IMO....it's still a good deal if you can use/need a drive imaging application.

Eek can't get to the http://www.acronis.co.uk/mag/ati10pe I have to wonder how hammered this may be?

Their server was so jammed up, it wasn't until several minutes ago that my registration form was accepted.
Keep trying if you're interested..... it will eventually work.

I have mine and included in the offer was Acronis True Image 7.
Grabbed that, too.

I've been using a version of TrueImage that is offered by Seagate/Maxtor, for several years, but is limited to drive imaging.

The full Acronis TrueImage 10 looked interesting because it also included a backup scheme for data.
But the data backup aspects seem awfully confusing.
The help files speak of the different types of backup schemes, from full to incremental to differential, but the options in the help file do not appear to be available in the program.
I'm wondering if this free version is not a full version after all.

edit: I've seen comments else where that this offering is not a full version.
It's still a good deal if all you need is a decent drive imaging app.

I never use the Acronis TI data backup anyway, there are lots of better free options. The drive imaging and restore is the flagship capability, as long as the free one has this, I'm all set.

I have all the Acronis products, but this one will be for my daughter's machine.

It took a while but I finally have the serial number they sent me, but how do you download the software?

All the links they gave point to Acronis True Image 2009 Home which you have to pay for an upgrade. I don't see any links for Acronis True Image 10 Personal Edition.

Manage your account by logging in with the password and the registration email address, you can download the copy there.

Thanks JW

I forgot I still had an account from when I got version 7 way back when.

Dangest program download to find that I have ever encountered

Thanks John for setting us on the correct path. I would have never thought of using my account to register. I absolutely had no problems receiving my registration last night.
I already had installed ver. 11 but I wanted this freebie for a family member. Using my backups over the years have saved me several times.

That's why I picked it up, free is always good!

The offer appears to have been withdrawn.

I hope everyone that read this thread and was interested ....has already gotten their free copy.

Yup, I got it and it's working fine. Thanks Stoner

JohnWill · 05-Feb-2009, 10:36 AM **#14**

Glad I moved fast.
