I'm planning on trying Windows 7 again but last time I tried Acronis True Image it gave problems and doing searches it seems many are still having some problems.

Does anyone know (first hand) of an app to backup/restore partitions reliably that works on Windows 7 and is comparable to Acronis?

Thanks.

I used Paragon Partition Manager for a Vista Clone, it worked, but I had to use my Vista disk to repair the MBR first. Vista and 7 are so similar, it might work...
 
Sorry but "might work..." doesn't add up to any kind of certainty.

I've thought of Clonezilla a few times but I don't think it's comparable to Acronis in that there's (as far as I know) no scheduled backups, it isn't installed, I have to reboot at least twice for each backup and it's got quirks I don't like. Thanks for that suggestion though. :D
