I have heard conflicting reports about the viability of using Acronis' True

1. That it will not work from within Vista's UI?
2. You can however back up and restore from the media bootable disc for True
Image.

I'm hoping at least #2 is accurate. Has anyone imaged a late edition (Feb)
Vista partition
successfully and restored via a TrueImage boot CD?

As we've been talking about elsewhere- it should, even if you have to
do a raw image. For that matter Ghost 2001, 2002, 7.0 or above should
also (with the proper option). There are other things to try as well.

Since you've already heard conflicting reports the best bet is to try
it.

"The limitations of Acronis True Image 9.0 trial version are that you
can only restore the image when you run the program from the bootable
media. It is fully functional in Windows. The trial version
evaluation period is 15 days."

Thanks -

PS - I tried and failed with an earlier version of Drive Image (2002?) and
the prior MSDN release of Vista.

Interesting. Which part failed, Backup or restore? Where there error
messages or a non-functional restore? Is WinFS involved?
