January 19: Acronis True Image Personal 2010 ==> homepage for TI Home 2012 HERE

Recovering data is just half the battle. Returning your system to the way it was is another story. All those software downloads and program shortcuts you've added over the years. All the emails and contact folders. With Acronis' patented disk imaging and PC-cloning technology, every bit of information can be restored to its original shape in minutes—without having to reinstall any software application. You can also use the Secure Zone function to create a secure disk partition on your internal drive. That way you can recover your system easily at any moment, even if your Operating System has failed.

Photos, music, documents, emails - your PC is packed with valuable files, any of which could disappear in a heartbeat if your hard drive is corrupted. It's a very good idea to protect yourself by running regular backups, then. And Acronis True Image Personal 2010 provides everything you need to get started.
....
For a more comprehensive approach, then you could always opt to back up an entire partition. It's just as easy to set up, and again can be scheduled to run automatically, so you can have your system regularly backed up with the absolute minimum of hassle.
....
If disaster strikes at any point, then there are many ways to recover your files. You can restore entire backups, for instance. There's an option to mount an image so you can restore just the files and folders you need. If Windows won't boot, then you can launch the Startup Recovery Manager and access a backup. And, of course, there's also the option to create a bootable rescue disc which will quickly have your PC back to normal.

And you even get some useful bonus tools, including an SSD Trim tool, and a file shredder which can securely delete confidential files.

Despite all this power, True Image Personal 2010 is actually a cut down version of the regular application. There's no support for incremental or differential backups, for instance; the scheduler only supports a "weekly" option; and the program can't run the System State, Email or Application Settings backup type. These options are still displayed on the menus, but are greyed out. If you'd like to upgrade and get access to all of these features, and more, click "Get the full version" on the toolbar and follow the instructions.
....
This download offer is available for US and Canadian residents only, from 18:00 Thursday January 19th, Eastern Standard Time, through to 23:59 Friday January 20th, exclusively from Downloadcrew Giveaway.

NOTE WELL: (from Acronis FAQ HERE) ==> Acronis True Image Personal Edition products have a limited number of features and are usually distributed as part of a promotional campaign.

Personal notes: I've been using Acronis TI Home versions for the last 5 years and have a couple of suggestions:

1. Get your data files off your system (drive / partition) then you can easily image or restore you system (drive / partition) in a few minutes in the event of your system becoming unstable, malware attack, or hard drive failure.
   
   
   • It takes < 15 mins to image my system partition (including validation) to another internal SATA II drive I use for storage. Restoring my system partition takes even less time and all my data is untouched (I backup it as well, but separately.)
   
   
   
2. I always select the option to "Validate" during the imaging process. Never had a image fail validation yet, but if one ever does, I want to know now when I can redo it instead of later when it's too late.
   
   
3. I only do "cold" system-imaging (boot from Linux-based Rescue CD / Windows not running) because if I need to do a system restore: requires doing a "bare-metal" restore using the Rescue CD.
   
   
   • The extra trouble to boot from CD is worth being certain I won't have to spend many, many hours doing a clean install and update of Windows and all my apps.
   
   
   
4. There are Seagate and Western Digital (limited, but free) editions of Acronis TrueImage available:
   
   
   • Seagate Disk Wizard homepage HERE (must have > 0 Seagate or Maxtor int. or ext. drive(s) installed)
   • True Image WD Edition homepage HERE (must have > 0 WD drive(s) installed)
   
   
   
5. One day I'll cough up the $90 to buy ShadowProtect (I'd do "hot" system-imaging with it, but not with anything else: it's an Enterprise quality app.)
