Changing to Acronis true Image

[Wendy]

I’ve been using “Acronis Backup” but am thinking about changing to “Acronis True Image 2020” because it can be restored to any disk, not just the type that I backed up. I think that gives me more flexibility if I want to change to a different size disk drive or maybe eventually even to a solid-state disk drive . But I saw in a review that “True Image” takes much longer to back up a disk than the “Acronis Backup” does. Has anyone had any experience with using it and if really is much slower?

Is this link of any help?

Any update Wendy?

I looked at the chart . Most of what is not in True image is not really anything I need. And there’s nothing there about comparing backup times. I am confused about the “universal restore”. I thought that wasn’t available for Acronis backup, only for True image, but the chart says otherwise. I decided to order true image but it hasn’t come yet. I’ll have to see how it really is once I get it. I suppose there’s no reason to keep tis open any more.
