PC Pro Magazine and Acronis have teamed up to offer version 8 "free".

Link

 

Once you've registered at the Acronis website linked above, they will send you a confirmation email. Click on the link in the email. Then Acronis will send you another email with the serial number. Then, you need to go back into the Acronis website. Click on the "My Account" and enter your registration name and password. Once you're logged in to "My Account", click on the "Registered Products" link. It should open up and show Acronis True Image 8.0 registered that you can then download from the link there. For some reason, I could not get it to download in IE 7 but it did in Firefox.

Worked fine in IE7 for me. Nice free upgrade from my previous freebie copy of True Image 7.

The one I bought this year was Version 11.

Agreed. There is nothing better than upgrading a FREE Version 7.0 with a FREE Version 8.0.

Anything less then V11 won't clone and restore Vista without doing a repair. Good deal for XP users though.

FYI, if you have a maxtor or seagate drive that you are backing up from or to, the free respective downloadable Seagate or Maxtor utilities has a limited version of Acronis that works with Vista. i used it for my sister's new Dell Vostro 200 that came with a Seagate drive.

FYI - This version is True Image 8.0 Personal Edition (OEM). It will let you manually create and restore hard drive images for complete backups or to migrate from one hard dive/PC to another. It does not have the scheduler for creating full images automatically or for doing incremental backups. It also does not provide full access to network drive.

Yes, they do offer the upgrade to Version 11 for $30 of course.

The previous giveaway was for the full version of True Image 7.0 which did have these features.

Good deal for XP users though.older versions also may not recognize newer chipsets - I tried version 10 recently on a newer Intel chipset motherboard and it wouldn't recognize the attached SATA DVD drive, so couldn't see the image file stored on disk. Version 11 worked fine.

So, make sure you test it before you depend on it for recovery. If 8 works for you, great.
