You can fill in the rebate online with rebateshq and that gives you a tracking number.

Very helpful. Repped.

Also, thanks and rep to the OP. Wish I had seen this coupon code before I ordered, but I just requested a $5 retroactive refund, and I don't doubt that the Egg will abide.

So if you have Seagate/WD drives, you might want to hold off buying this software.

SeaTools worked well for me in the past, but only allows for full imaging (no incremental backups). If you are a "typical user," even one without Seagate/WD drives, several of the free options in the previous Lifehacker post would be adequate.

Clonezilla is more than "adequate" and is free.

Synctoy just do backup. No incremental, no differential, etc etc

Its simple.

If my hd crash, I just install everything from scratch.

I dont like backup stuff that backup even the junk stuff.

Got a lot of free time on your hands?

How often does Newegg get more? I can see them getting more stock the day after the rebate ends.

Checked out the reviews on this...is it really as bad as what the reviews say? On Amazon, one star is the single biggest response category http://www.amazon.com/Acronis-Tru...addOneStar ..., and even on Acronis site about half the reviews are 3 or less http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6832200008.

This is scary. I'll try to sell my copy before even trying to install it.

GreatestOne · 07-21-2009, 02:35 PM

Wow thats a lot of negative reviews on Amazon... I feel like it is some vendetta against Acronis... maybe it doesnt do well to DVD's since i havent tried, but so far I used it twice in a full restore sector by sector and it did it both times flawlessly, easily... not sure how it can be any better really, unless free.

Does clonezilla and the ms sync have the same ease of use?

Did you read some of the bad reviews?

Most of those users should learn to read the instructions.

As for the reviewer who said "They should have told me that cloning to a disk would erase the data on that disk..." Well, he is an idiot and his PC should be taken away from him.
Be sure an UPDATE the install from the Acronis support site and don't use Acronis as a parttion manager, or Windows Vista "Shrink" tool either.

If you want to re-size partitions download GParted and use that for parttion re-sizing.

Heres a fillable rebate

I can't seem to apply the EMCLVML65 $3.99 promo code successfully...

trakslacker · 07-23-2009, 01:32 PM

This is ALIVE again, only the $5 off coupon is no longer valid. Still a decent deal for a good product though.

Go get 'em...

thought coupon per wiki was good to July 24 (actually rebate only) and ordered quickly trying to use coupon (no worky) and then called in to see if they might apply. No go, asked to cancel. Checked 30 minutes later to confirm cancellation and item is in shipping. Chatted again and this time agent took $5 off. I guess I am cheap.
