Hi, I have used Winclone in the past but it has happened once that it could not restore a Windows partition. Given that there are many cloning and backup software (e.g. True Image, Windows' own backup utility) available for Windows, what is the point of using Winclone?
 
Has anybody used both Winclone and Acronis True Image long enough to comment on each's reliability?
 
I been a winclone user for years and it has not let me down. I have my windows os on a external drive Installing windows on a external drive is easy with winclone.

I think I will take a chance on buying it and hope for the best. I made a big mistake in buying it. How do I get a refund :confused:
