[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 485105, member: 12496"] True Image 2015 is only $29 at Amazon. At times, there are better offers if on their mailing list. A three-user choice is $60, Amazon (three computers). This says 2015 is now Windows 10 Compatible: [URL]http://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/pc-backup/?adpos=1t1&creative=65136189377&device=c&matchtype=b&network=g&gclid=CJnY_ffUrccCFRAxaQodRuADHw[/URL] Probably when you install it, it will want to fetch an updated version. The program offers a menu to create a bootable CD, so that when the system fails, you can boot on the CD to restore it from your backup. I think the purchased CD boots too, but be sure you create that CD (from the updated version). Actually, if you boot on the CD, it will also back up any unlicensed computer, in the same way. True Image is the good one. Paragon is also good, but True Image simply just works, simpler. Disk image backup is the easy way. Then when system goes bonky (malware, etc), it's easier to just restore a recent backup than to try to figure out how to fix it. And of course, when the hard drive fails, you just put put in a new one and restore. You are back up and running in minutes, same as when you did last backup. Which means it won't have your latest email or other work done since last backup (some additional daily data backup plan helps with that). [/QUOTE]
