Aconis True Image Home 2012 is real flakey and I wouldn't use it. It has wiped my computer clean 3 times in one month. I used Acronis backup software for over 5 years, but this latest release can be real trouble. Twice when I manually kicked off a backup, it started a restore instead and then crashed, making my computer unbootable. I had to reload Windows 7 and all my software. The Boot disk that I had created from Acronis did nothing. The last time, I was getting ready to kick off a backup and it said a new release of Ture Image Home 2012 was available, so I clicked to update and it said a restart was needed, which I clicked OK. Boot Manager came back and said my computer was unable to start and to insert the Windows installation disk. I contacted Acronis support via Chat and told them the problem and they said they had no record of a valid key, even though I successfully re-installed it twice this month. I was told I would have to PPI (pay per incident). I am now through with this company. More trouble than it is worth. I'm now using the backup services available with Windows 7. Sure can't be any worse.
