Re: OT: re Acronis & Win-10

[J R FOX <jr_fox@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've not had any disappointments with Acronis . . . but then

I haven't really put it to the test beyond Win 7 and the 2015

edition of TI.

I've also used Shadow Protect (first called to my attention and

recommended to me on this list), and I think it's pretty good,

although I find the UI to be less clean and direct than the TI

versions I have used.  SP seems to have undergone a name

change or two in more recent years.  I have not kept up with

anything beyond an early iteration of version 5.

I have always had and heard of problems with Acronis. I have never had problems with ShadowProtect.

Jordan,

I would think that any XP install disk would do if this is the way to
go. First back up and then try.
