September 16th only: Macrium Reflect Full version for $20 at BitsDuJour.com

Limited offer: Macrium Reflect Full for $20.00
http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/macrium-reflect/

An excellent full-disk backup system (think Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage, but for the rest of us who don't have a ton of money!), Macrium Reflect Free has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it a couple months back.

Now, normally I don't post about paid software, but since I like Reflect so much, I'm willing to make an exception - and since Nick from Macrium is such a nice guy... ;)

On September 16th, 2008 (and on the 16th ONLY) the full version of Macrium Reflect is available to you for 50% off of it's normal price of $39.99 for $20 via http://www.bitsdujour.com!

From the website, Macrium's features:
  • Create accurate and reliable images of your hard disk or partitions on your disk.
  • Simple step-by-step operation using intuitive wizards and interfaces.
  • Full automation, scheduling, and disk space optimization.
  • Built-in VBScript generator integrates with VBScript and WScript, enabling complete control of the backup process.
  • Leading data compression technology offers three different compression levels to optimize between file size and speed.
  • Options for full, incremental, or differential (only what's changed) backups.
  • Backup individual files, folders, or entire drives.
  • Filter irrelevant files to prevent clutter.
  • Modify a partition for storage and backups.
  • Files can be retrieved even when Windows won't load or is in use.
  • Password protect backups to prevent unauthorized access.
This version allows you to create incremental and differential backups so it will only back up the changes or differences since your last full backup, making the process very fast.

Now, if you can't afford the $20, I suggest you give Macrium Reflect Free a try and see what the hype is all about!

Or you could get Acronis True Image 11 for just $9.99!! Details are on a UK forum.

Yes you can, but this uses a windows PE as the recovery media, which has much less of an issue booting with different hardware compared with Acronis, which uses a linux disk.

Actually you can have Acronis True Image Home edition for free if you have Seagate/Maxtor hard disk (internal/external).

Just go to Seagate/Maxtor website and download Seagate Disc Wizard, this is actually True Image re branded with their name.

Nice thought - but since when can $20 be the business of a FREEWARE Junkie!

True - - but since Macrium does produce a freeware edition, this falls into that 'gray' area... :) Some folks love the free edition, but may want the extra features that the paid version supplies, so I wanted to let you all know!

If you don't want to buy it, then I highly recommend the freeware edition (of course).
