Free Acronis TrueImage 10 Backup Software

heggied

Just crossposting this from Lifehacker:

The give-away of Acronis' cloning software, normally $50 per license, is intended to inspire users to get familiar with Acronis' backup systems, and possibly upgrade to Acronis True Image Home 2009. For most folks planning to re-install Windows, or just create one-file backups of entire drives, True Image 10 Personal will probably fit the bill. Its interface and step-by-steps don't seem to give you as many options and geeky switches as DriveImage XML, which we featured in our guide to hot-imaging a hard drive. But True Image does offer backup archive validation, a recovery disk creator, a startup interrupter that can re-apply a backup image, and other tools for those shaking their fists at the Windows gods.

It's available for download at http://www.acronis.co.uk/mag/ati10pe (keep trying though as the server seems to be being hit pretty hard - the lifehacker effect for you, I suppose)

If you can't get through, you can always use DriveImage XML (which is free for personal use - http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm)
