Western Digital offers it for free for use with their HARD drives.As does Seagate...

It's not a full version...but fine for the average Home user Quote from: patio on April 18, 2011, 05:44:09 AM

WD calls it Acronis True Image WD Edition Softwarehttp://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119&wdc_lang=en

Can anyone can download Acronis WD? It doesn't ask if you purchased a WD harddrive. Quote from: artbuc on April 18, 2011, 03:01:50 PM

Did you try it?  If you don't have a WD drive, it won't work.There's STILL Macrium...which i suggested awhile back...How about Karen's Replicator from www.karenware.com ? I use it at home and it works great. Just set the program and forget it. On a sad note i just read this AM that Karen passed away...
She was 59.

She will be MISSED...WOW! Sad indeed. Hi,
It’s not a good idea to put backup files on another drive on the same computer.Backing up a computer is essential for keeping long term (or even short term) documents around. I also want to know how can backup our data on computer.
Please tell me fast.
thank you. Quote from: jckjones29 on April 19, 2011, 01:19:32 PM

This is exactly why we've been suggesting drive image apps...
The images should be burned to CD/DVD's...
