Is there any decent imaging/backup software out there?
I have a trial of Acronis, which is good but it's $60, which seems a bit much considering all the free stuff available on GNU today.

If you are in USA, google Amazon.com for Acronis True Image Home 2009 PC Backup & Recovery. The cost is a less than half of $60.

If you can't find free software online (legal or otherwise), you need to take a class in Googling 101.

Acronis have pretty good anti piracy though. Even the illegal stuff online doesn't work for more than a day or two.
...and I'm looking for a recommendation lol.

So you haven't used any free ones that you recommend then?
This is a forum. I specifically came on here to ask because I have searched google and couldn't find any good ones for free. I have tried Acronis but the trial ran out and it has no cracks.

Hi, jackvull,

Try Macrium Reflect, you won't be sorry.

A great programme that I've been using for some time. Excellent support and an active help forum too.
