**************Update******************
I received my copy of Acronis True Image Home 2010 a couple of days ago, I have been using True Image for a number of years but due to an upgrade to Windows 7 I decided to upgrade to True Image 2010. I have got to say that this software is the biggest pile of s*** I have ever come across in my life, it simply does NOT work.
After I installed the application I had a quick look at the new features I closed the application and then tried to restart it. Unfortunately there is a bug that does not allow the application to close properly so then it is impossible to restart. I then proceeded to create a backup which appeared to go smoothly, however, when I attempted to restore the backup the program kept asking for volume one of the backup and then the program would stop responding. This program is about as much use as a life jacket that dissolves in water. It is now on the way back to Amazon for a refund. I suggest that if anyone is considering buying this software that they download the trial version first and read all of the complaints on the acronis forums especially when using with Windows 7.
Even though I posted this deal I would vote cold if I could, even if it was free I would still vote cold.

Was that from using a bootable Acronis CD to backup and later restore Windows that resulted in failures?
Tempted to replace my version 10 personal edition.
Tempted to replace my version 10 personal edition.
both the boot time startup recovery manager (F11) and the CD failed with my backups on external HDD.
Both backups (on different PCs) stated it wanted part 3 of each backup image. Each image was all in 1 file so it got confused somewhere!
Even the secure zone backup failed. I now have a 150GB secure zone and pushed the image partition limit to the max and that worked on a subsequent image I created when testing the restore. A big bug somewhere so I suggest you thoroughly validate and restore an image immediately after creation in order to call it trustworthy.
No such problems with the 2009 version
Sometimes the archives it creates are corrupt and therefore useless if you ever need to restore them. As said above, always validate them to make sure they're not corrupt..
I've had issues restoring backups too.. TI not recognising hard drives, amongst other stuff.
Obviously not a feature packed as this. But if all you're looking for is a backup and restore facility ...
i think thats just a add on

Errr, isn't that why there's a verify image option built in?
Good software, good price.
As above, I have still had image restores fail in with this version that validated correctly! I dont trust this software any more tbh
EPIC FAIL! :whistling:
If you have a seagate/maxtor disk its worth getting seagate discwizard from under "support and downloads" on the seagate site, its a cutdown earlier version of trueimage, and will do many of the things this will do.
The attraction of packages like this is the peace of mind it gives you, if it doesn't do that and you end up having to do manual backups 'just in case' then it's all a bit pointless.
