Likely not. Ask Symantec.

I use BootitNG. I created an image of my Vista partition as a set of files
on a separate 'Data' partition. I then used IngBurn to dump these files to
DVD.

I also restored the Vista partition to a third partition, on the sme disk.
This gave me a 2nd copy of Vista which I use for testing.

BootitNG provides a boot menu where I can choose which version of Vista I
want to load. (As well as several Linux systems)
 
I use Acronis v10 in XP & it is a good program.
I'm back on XP now but in Vista I had major incompatibility problems &
probably reinstalled different images created by Vista Ultimate more than a
dozen times. I didn't get a single problem.
The only possible criticism is that it offers no compression, my 22 gb of
data created a 22gb file.
But with a 500gb backup usb disk, who cares?
 
Well i'm glad my posts have been useful to you. its good to hear positive
feedback like yours.

Jonah, at least we have two things in common: We both live in the UK and we
are both Acronis Beta testers:-)

Two other good backup applications which i have used successfully have been
Casper and Paragon Drive Copy.

My favourite was always Drive Image, that was when it was developed by
Powerquest. However since Symantec took it over and, effectviely merged it
with Norton Ghost it lost its appeal for me. But then any Norton software
has never had an appeal. As i've said many times before, Norton was the
de-facto anti-virus, imaging etc during the Windows 95/98 period, but since
then the software seems more capable of creating problems than solving them.

Yes, Drive image used to run flawlessly from 2 floppy discs.
Shame it was ended, it was a great program.
