Solve : Alternatives to Acronis...? |
Answer» I keep seeing users refer other members to Acronis... I like and use Free alternatives to every App there is...but not when it comes to my data. Why's that? Do you think "free" programs that OFFER the same thing don't live up to Acroinis' standards? I can understand your statement if you're used to the program...and can swear by it. However, the way I look at it...if a free program can do the same thing...why spend the money? That's like telling someone who's paying for Norton Internet Security...not to try other free malware protection. Don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to start an argument here. I just wanted to know why you'd not be willing to use freeware when it came to your data.Visit the link and find a freeware app that can do what it does including incremental backups; backups to FTP; backups by set directories; scheduling etc..... Trust me...it ain't out there. Did i mention 64Bit as well ? ?Then some people are more just comfortable knowing they have live support which doesn't come with the free software, on top of the extra features Patio mentioned. 30 bucks isn't much for peace of mind.I agree... Granted, HD Clone can't do what Acronis can, however, there are alternative versions available, as well...at a cost to the CONSUMER: http://www.miray.de/products/sat.hdclone.html#versions I'm not knocking the Acronis program...it does have more bells and whistles and is a proven piece of software. My original post was only to inform those who are looking for alternative "free" drive imaging software. I've used HD Clone...and it does what I want it to do...at no cost to me. Should I decide I need a better package...I, too, would probably prefer Acronis, as well.And i wasn't knocking the Free choices you posted...i've used them both. After all i did admit initially to being the "Acronis Preacher" ....no ? ? Quote from: patio on August 25, 2008, 08:37:35 PM And i wasn't knocking the Free choices you posted...i've used them both. Why yes, you did...and I just want you to know that it wan't just you doing the preaching, either. And again...no harm...no foul. All the best, patio... SteveSame to you, Steve. patio. |
