Acronis True Image for PC or Mac - full version. This is a pack that contains a code that you use online to download the software directly from Acronis. Although the picture shows the 2015 version, when I used my code, it gave me the 2016 version. I don't think the Windows based version is as intuitive as previous ones, although the boot version (which I prefer, anyway) works as it has done for may years. However, I do find it more flexible than the built in Windows 7 backup and restore tool. In any event, Amazon have the same software for £36.61 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acronis-True-Image-2016-English/dp/B013DD3VO2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456822935&sr=8-1&keywords=acronis+true+image) so £11.99 seems to be a good price.
A few stores have stock but it is available to be ordered into most - mine was available for pick up next day.

I stopped using Acronis when they pulled the "Windows 8.1 is a whole new OS and not a service pack/update to Windows 8, so buy an upgrade. For £40." when Macrium just updated their software at no charge.
Lost me as a customer.
Edit - Even for £12 - I won't give them my money again. I have a long memory and know how to hold a grudge :wink:

Get Macrium Free. It's good and works quite nice. Recovered lots of machines

It's a good price, so hot.
If you don't need anything more than a simple backup to image file tool, there are load of alternatives.
I use Macrium Reflect Free by choice now.

I realise time machine isn't an imager but it does back up for free. Any other specific advantages to macrium??

Did they restore the functionality from the earlier versions after the dreadful rewrite?

Can it be used on only 1 pc?

Most likely.... I got 2013 Acronis for backing up purposes and if you install on a second PC a product activation warning pops up. Annoying for me as I only use Acronis to make a backup every 6 months on a couple of machines.

If you're only interested in creating and restoring backups, and not bothered about the additional bloat the software installs.
Just create a boot disk (CD or USB stick), then you can use it a multiple machines.
All the need to do is temporarily alter the BIOS to select the boot disk, instead of you OS.
A question of my own:
Do the latest versions of True Image allow you to create/restore encrypted (TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt) OS drive backups or do you still need to decrypt them before creating a backup?
Thanks.

Tempting but after Acronis screwed me over a few years back, I refused to buy anymore of their products.
