The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Best in the business, I have it installed on 4 machines at home :D

    However if your looking for a cheap (free) alternative I have heard that Macrium Reflect is a good product.

    if you have a Western Digital HD you can use Acronis True Image WD Edition for free, the only requirement is that you have an WD HD (internal or external) on the pc you install this to.

    Free, cool and little (1,78MB); DriveImageXML.
    As it's so little it has much fewer options than the programs reviewed by NBR, mentioned above so make sure it fits your needs.
