I wish I would've checked out Acronis TrueImage before I bought Perfect Image. This software is very so-so, and not anywhere near as simple and convenient compared to TrueImage. Furthermore, the boot/recovery program whether from CD or hard drive, fails to work 50% of the time whether from not booting or not recognizing your hard drives. The boot program for True Image is slicker and much more polished and is nearly the same as the Windows version (done in a nice Vista style) whereas Perfect Image gives you a clunkier and less polished UI when booting directly to it.
A major irritant is the product validation which runs every time and will render the software useless if there is any problem or computer hardware upgrade. Your only option is to contact Avanquest and they will get around to responding to you. You are forced to request them to update their validation database so you can run 'your' program which is currently disabled. This process is quick, only 2 or 3 days to get it resolved.
One major advantage of Acronis TrueImage is that you can restore files, folders, all you want from the same backup image. You just can't do that with PerfectImage. So on that feature alone, why pay the same amount for less? Duh!
