    Acronis doesn't work well for me either.

    I use Paragon and Macrium - they work perfectly on my 7 x64 and Vista x64 systems.

    I don't know if any of the popular 3rd party imaging apps. can be configured to immediately start backing up an external device when you plug it in - if that's what you are asking.

    I had a weird desktop refresh-bug with Acronis, i always had to press F5 to see extracted folders and downloaded files on my desktop with TI installed.

    Do you use the free Macrium? How is it...?

    The Macrium is actually pretty nice on 32bit and I ended up using it

    I've used ShadowProtect and Image For Windows for a very long time.
    ShadowProtect doesn't support Win7 100% and there is an issue with I4W
    with the image viewer. I got a free license from Paragon so I guess I'll stick with it.
    Is window 7's backup system have the function to mount the backup and copy files?

Since Win 7 has a backup program, is there any reason to use Acronis True Image? I have an older version of True Image and can upgrade to True Image 2010 at the upgrade price, but is it really necessary to do that?
Currently I use the Win7 built in backup tool and I'm not too satisfied with it. It is too slow, not enough customizable etc. What do you use?
