The Good
* Can do full, incremental, and differential backups.
* Has a built in scheduler to schedule automatic backups.
* Can create backups to local computer (different partition/hard disk), network location, or external media.
* Can split up backup images.
* Can create bootable/recovery disk (CD/DVD).
* Can create bootable/recovery USB/flash drive.
* Can restore image to different hard drive (?).
* Can mount and explore images to do selective file restore.
* Can verify image backup integrity.
* Does fairly good compression.

The Bad
* Uses up a lot of CPU while creating backup (95%+).
* Creates backups very slowly considering how much CPU it uses.
* No password protection feature for backup images.
* How to restore images can be a little confusing.
* Simplistic in terms of features when compared to rival commercial (image) backup software.

As Ashraf noted, very limited features compared to the big-name backup utilities, and it would take a lot of testing before I would be confident in the reliability of off-brand backup utilities. Keriver Image has a normal price of $30. You can buy an upgrade to Acronis True Image Home 2010 for that, or the full version for $40 at current street prices. There are a couple of different versions of the True Image Home 2010 User's Guide, it looks like support for dynamic and GPT disks has been dropped. The biggest downside to Acronis is that it uses a Linux-based boot disk, although you can use a BartPE disk (still no WinPE support). True Image Home 2010 integrates with Windows Search. FYI, for ordinary files which I dump onto external hard disks, I assign a unique drive letter to each external disk and let Windows Search 4 index them, so their contents show up in search results and I know which drive to attach.

This program is something I have been looking for, as I'm "ONE OF THOSE" who doesn't back up things. However, I've been reading more and more information about the ease of backups (something I never really understood before) and now I'm looking for a good program to help me do a backup with ease of use, rather than complexity.

I have to say, I used to click on just about everything on this GAOTD site until I finally started taking a peek at these comments. Now, thanks to Ashraf, sometimes months go by before I select a free download, simply because his excellent reviews help me to be a bit more choosy with which programs I download onto my hard-drives.

Thanks Ashraf! You really do us all an incredible favor with your wonderful comments/reviews. I personally don't know how you manage to do it!
