Has anyone out there actually restored an iamge of their hard drive
using Acronis.

Exactly what steps did you take to do that?

I'll print them and store them in my Acronis Installation CD.

Thank you.

You can easily figure this out on your own - the process is a simple
one. Just TRY it. You can stop the process before you get to the
magic moment when the restore actually begins.

If you're really, really scared, you can always RTFM first - or click
the "Help" icon and do some reading.

You`ve installed TI on your machine ?
Yes. OK.
You`ve created the recovery CD ?
No. Then create on now.
You can do it from the TI you`ve got on your machine.
It needs one CD.

If you`ve created the recovery CD, then you`re good
to go.

Go into the BIOS, and make your CD drive, your 1st.
bootable device.
Insert the recovery CD, reboot the machine.
press return (or any key), to boot the CD.
Wait for it to finish loading TI then proceed through the
pages, selecting your BU image, and where you want to
reinstall it to.
My 9gig recovery takes about 15 minutes.

Remove the CD, and reboot your recovered OS.

Not all restore operations require that. Many restores can be started
from within Windows. I would suggest the OP try that method first.

It's quite easy. I do it all the time.
Click on back-up and restore then use the wizard.
Just be sure you have enough room an a separate disk where you are
going to save it.

It IS pretty easy. I've done a bunch for Vista, and probably 6 on Win7
just backing up to a time when things were better (I back up frequently)

One caveat - under windows - look at restore options - way down there there
is something that says ...

Tools
Options
Default restoration options
Additional settings
UNcheck: set current date and time for restored files. I don't know where
that came from, it does not exist in the standalone CD version. But you
don't want it!

I also check
Tools
Options
Default backup options
Additional settings
check: validate backup archive when it is created. - saves you from doing
it manually, or worse, forgetting.

RTFM?

I have read but wanted to hear from someone who had actually done
it.

That must be the option that is displayed (BOOT MENU) that appears
on my HP when I start it. There are a couple of seconds pause there
where I could click on it.
