Are there any major improvements (from a real-life point of view - not
those expressed by Acronis on their website) over previous versions?

Hi!
Look here:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14403089
It's really amazing. People are already exchanging screenshots there:)
I bought an ATI 9 upgrade and it works pretty good: I thought It just
can't be faster but it really is. And what I like a new option appears
that helps add a new HDD to PC and even partition it.

Can True Image now clone individual partitions and put the clone
on a HD that already contains other partitions like Casper XP can?
(I'm not talking about making an "image" file, I'm talking about
making a bootable clone.)

That's the sort of info I want.

Not from someone who sounds as though they have shares in the company,
or from something that sounds like advertising blurb - has anyone
credible actually used it yet?

Doesnt look like it from the manual which is available for download.

The free trial is available for download too.

It does however have a new fast restore which
reduces the need to do what you want to do.

Quite an interesting approach in many ways, it restores the OS
files first, keeps track of what files the user trys to access once
the restored OS is run, while the rest of the files are being restored
in the background, and gets the ones the user is trying to use first.

Its always been a primitive way to do backup.

The manual and the free test drive are available for download.

The current free trial download may not have the
new features in it, yet.

But not faster than a reboot.

It *is* primitive, but hey!, I'm a primitive guy with
immediate needs, and clones require the least
IQ to be back up and running after a hard drive
failure or a system file mangulation.

Corse it does, its a free trial of 9, stupid.

Duh. But it very unlikely indeed that you'll ever need it and
that approach doesnt protect you from a hardware failure.

Only a duplicate system do that.

Who is such a bonehead that he doesnt realise
that it only covers one possibility, the OS becoming
unusable, and doesnt do a damned thing about the
MUCH more likely possibility of a hardware failure.

Yeah, obviously something you need bad.

You dont even need that capability to have that primitive
approach to quick recovery, even someone as stupid as you
should be able to manage to clone the entire drive instead.

Its terminally stupid to be limiting what software you can
use to such a ****ed dinosaur as Casper XP by insisting
on that clone of just a partition instead of the whole drive.

I take it that you're endorsing Casper XP?

I think you are confusing 'trial download' with some form of pre-
release edition eg an alpha or beta test version. The latter are
sometimes not feature-complete, but the former usually has all of
the features but is limited in some other way to get you to pay the
licence fee.

You also appear to be confusing Rod Speed with humanity; don't
waste your time arguing with the Rodbot. It habitually resorts to
ad hominen debate when it's losing.

No, I realize that the free trial version is missing a feature or two
that are in the purchased version. But there is also no statement
that the current free trial version includes or excludes the *new*
features that characterize version 9.

I realize Rod is a sock puppet, and I only banter with it - as one
would with a child. But the hand up its butt does occasionally
share good information, and so it's worth listening to.

Just being able to actually do what you specify to do.

Doesnt need to be, its clearly labelled as being a free trial of version 9.

There might be some imrovements. But untill they fix some bugs, I would not
rely on this product:

I agree completely. This product is VERY buggy. For example, you can
create a "secure zone" partition but you will have to buy a copy of
Partition Magic to remove the partition... the removal function doesn't
work. Also, forget using a USB2 drive as a backup target... it doesn't
work. If you think that this review is too severe, check out the
