They are both “watered down” versions of Arconis True Image.īefore I start my “analysis” let me say that Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 SE is one of my favorite freebies of all times. NOTE2: Seagate DiscWizard and Acronis True Image WD Edition are both the same software but for different hard drive brands. You can try to use this on a different hard drive brand at your own risk (some people say it works but I cannot verify that). For those people that don’t know, “Western Digital” is a company that manufactures hard drives. NOTE: Acronis True Image WD Edition is for Western Digital hard drives only. You can try to use DiscWizard on a different hard drive brand at your own risk (some people say it works but I cannot verify that). For those people that don’t know, “Seagate” is a company that manufactures hard drives. NOTE: Seagate DiscWizard is for Seagate hard drives only. NOTE: Screenshot for PING was taken from the developer’s website. NOTE: Screenshot for Clonezilla was taken from the developer’s website. For a free backup software that is intended for files/documents check out Titan Backup. They are not intended for individual files and documents. The software I am about to show you are intended for full backup of partitions/operating systems or hard drives. Now every backup software does not have to be either or one software may be able to do both tasks. Software that is intended to backup individual files and documents.Usually software that can do this refer to the task as “creating an image” or “disk imaging” or something similar. Software that is intended to backup whole partitions/operating systems or hard drives.What I mean is in the category of “backup software”, there are two subcategories: Often times X and Y are two different types of backup software. Quite a few people have asked me “should I replaced X backup software with Y backup software”. So I did the research, the testing, and have put together a list of 7 free programs that you can use to image/backup/ghost your partitions or hard drives like you can with Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost or any other similar commercial software.īefore I show the list of program, let me clarify something. The point is every time I think of Acronis or Norton I think there must be viable free alternatives there are always viable free alternatives. However both Acronis and Norton are commercial products that can be had for five simple payments of $19.95! Okay okay I exaggerate a bit – they are not that expensive. Each time I see a backup program, I think “Acronis True Image” or “Norton Ghost”. Lately I have been running into a lot of backup programs.
