With each new version Acronis became more difficult to use threw more errors. Thanks for your comments and advice.Hi lbeck, I also used Acronis since 2008 and now I use Macrium. I hate to abandon my paid version of ATI but I don’t want to spend a lot of time troubleshooting it if the consensus is that Macrium is a better product. My question here is whether I should abandon ATI for Macrium – maybe even buy the paid version (~$70). I’m serious about having a good image if needed and having a handy utility for recovering individual files. When I access this area of TenForums I see that most of the discussion is about Macrium. I’ll start another thread if needed for that. I’m having a little difficulty using ATI and understanding some error messages with ATI that I won’t go into here. ATI apparently will handle my 3TB WD M圜loud and a tethered 2TB HDD to give me 5TB storage for backups.

I have purchased Acronis TrueImage 2018 primarily for disk imaging in case I have a system crash and for individual file recovery if needed.
