Found a Free backup utility, Macrium Reflect

The interesting thing about this backup program is you can open the backup files in Windows Explorer and extract any files and folders you need.

Forgot to mention that the business edition is Free too, for a short time.

For a short period of time like for a 30 days trial? I don't find the business edition. There's the full edition at 39.99$ that you can try for 30 days, but I haven't sen the free business edition.

Well I tried it and it works fine, thanks for bringing it to my attention. It's not as user-friendly as Acronis True Image, but for computers without a Western Digital or Seagate hard drive, it's a good alternative. The Linux rescue CD works well with NTFS partition, so you don't have to go the complicated road and put a plugin into a BartPE iso. Plus, unlike Acronis TI, you don't have to reboot the computer following the installation.

Thanks, elder clown.

You mean it does not work with WD and Seagate drives?

You get a free Acronis True Image with both Seagate drives and Western Digital. Seagate calls it DiskWizard. Western Digital calls it True Image, WD Edition. You can't use them in a system deprived of a Seagate or Western Digital drive, like a lot of laptops are. But you can use Macrilium Reflect on any computer, whatever's the hard drive.

Since when? Is it on the disc in the retail package?

Yup, in retail boxes.
The last Seagate version I used only needed a Seagate drive to be present for the install; after that it worked fine without a Seagate drive present.
