    i found it on ben's so i assume it's making the "bargain" site rounds right now; i.e., massive traffic. hopefully it'll work later (off peak as per the site). i have no use for the app, just wanted to (hopefully) pass on a freebie to NBR users.

    If you don't know what TrueImage does, why did you download it? Anyway, visit the website and read all about it.

    Have you visited the link I provided? There's a lot of information on that website. You can read the FAQs, browse their forum, read the general information, etc.

    not unless you want it to be. ive justed used it to back my mainpc and my laptop up onto an external hdd.
    my main pc hdd has 60gb on it the back up of the full thing on the external drive is 46gb
    you chance chose greater compression or not or pick your own size.

    If the link is not working, just go a one page up ( here) and click on the TrueImage70_u_en.exe url. It works that way.

    The free download is True Image 7. How does it compare to True Image 10, the latest version of the software?

    Just so you guys know. It is still working but I don't know how much longer it will. Also you can get the download from the My Account area. Just login using your email address and the password it gave you after registering.

    EDIT: Oh and I cut this one pretty close like I did the last free offer. I got 2 free codes for DivX Pro 6 the last time a good free offer came around (the one was supposed to go to a friend).

    And you can also upgrade to the newest version.
    It costs you $24 (upgrading from True Image 7 to True Image 10 home). Compare it to the $49,90 when you buy a new license for ver. 10 (not upgrade). You save about $25.
