I have now actually used Acronis True Image 2009 to recover my hard drive. I had done a full image on Saturday morning and during the day, in changing some of the partitions, I changed something (in other words, messed it up). So I used Acronis True Image 2009 to restore the image I had made and verified that morning. It works great. With all the authentication and verification that I had the software do it took several hours, compared to days, weeks or possibly never to get my machine back where it should be.
