Very nice thanks. The restore to dissimilar hardware will be a right bonus. I had to do this the other day and ended up having to do a repair install of Windows to get this thing to boot.

If this works as it says on the tin, it will be great!

So is this just an addon for Acronis 2010, and doesn't include the app itself, I 'bought' it, but I only have a licence for V9 previously

Thanks

Cool thanks. Shame it's only the add-on though

Blackbadger · 24 Jan 2010 at 22:19

Thanks.

It's not actually just a add-on - Once registered It gives you the bootable version of true image as a iso too.

So you can do all your backups/restores via usb/cd/dvd etc but you cant schedule backups via windows etc, and doesn't look as pretty.

does anyone have any discount codes for True Image itself?
could be worth getting a licence as well if its cheap enough

Excellent deal! Just added the package to my account and downloaded the bootable .iso CD.

All I can say is WOW! I booted from the CD and made a complete back up of a newly installed machine over my network in less then 15 mins. No need to configure anything it picked up I.P. address from DHCP and found my shared folder on my storage machine then proceded to create the backup, almost stupid proof.

Just trying to figure out now if I can make an image that is compatible with VM ware or something. Would love to make a VM from my old PC before I finally wipe it and send it to a new home, finally moved from XP to Windows 7 and would like the saftey of having my whole PC available to me incase I missed something.

I'm sure there are ways using Acronis, but I've recently used this method:

Within the Windows you are capturing, run Disk2vhd (free). It creates a virtual hard drive image of the OS (in Virtual PC format). I then used WinImage ($30, but there is a trial) to convert it from VHD format to VMDK (VM disk) and used VMWare to boot from that - it worked straight out of the box. Oddly, the original Virtual PC image didn't boot, but the VM conversion of it did... used this method on a couple of servers (even using various RAID arrays) to test a migration... if it works with that hardware on Server 2003 and 2008, you'll have to be really unlucky for it not to work on XP!

The only negative is that you'll have to reactivate the OS when in the VM due to the obvious change of "hardware".
