For disk imaging (computer’s hard drive backup) we recommend to use the Acronis True Image by Acronis. This disk imaging software is a powerful, versatile tool that can restore a copy to a single computer or to several computers at once.

Acronis True Image is the best of all the disk imaging programs – this software is fast, error–free and fairly simple to use. However Acronis cannot backup specific files or folders; you should have a backup software.

With Acronis True Image you have all the options for making hard drive images and more. Scheduling automatic backup times for an image is easy and images can be incremental – that means you can choose to backup only data that has changed since the previous backup to save time.

If you need to do more than simply copy data you can format,partition and even delete a hard drive right from the Acronis control panel. Putting data back onto a hard drive for use (disk deployment) is simple too—just a few steps, and the data is back in action. You can even restore individual files from an image.

The Acronis True Image viewer can open an image you’ve created as a local drive by assigning it a drive letter. This means you can view and access copied files and folders conveniently.

Unlike other disk imaging products, the process of creating a copy in Acronis True Image is an easy, one-step task. Just use the wizard tools and follow the instructions to get the image you want.

Acronis True Image didn’t balk at creating images to a network, as some disk imaging programs did.

Acronis True Image includes wizards that walk you through each task, and you can connect to help files and customer support with just one click on the control panel. Best of all Acronis True Image copies and restores hard drive data with precision accuracy faster than most disk imaging software.

The paid version costs $49.99.
