All Acronis Backups Corrupt after reformat

I'm so disgusted with this pos software. After using it for years, upgrading a couple of times, then finally needing it, it's totally useless. Actually worse than useless, it's gives you a false sense of security, then leaves you high and dry with corrupted files.
I intend to go to all the review sites I can find, Amazon, Reseller ratings, anywhere else I can find and try to keep people from buying this software. I see now why the rating at Reseller Ratings is 1.67.
I can't recover my time, money, or data, but I can do as much as humanly possible to keep anyone else from buy this POS worthless product.

I find myself testing every backup from every machine every week because despite "operation succeeded" I have found many things that cause restores to fail.

Yea, I've got backups for several years on external hard drives, and then suddenly after a clean install of my os nearly everything is corrupt, some old ones are still ok. The problem is the ones I really need are corrupt. I regret the day I ever installed this worthless pos.

If nothing else, I expect my backup software to alert me if there is a problem, not tell me the operation was successful or verified when the backups wont even begin to restore.

Other recovery software have emergency utils to repair archives to get some data back. With Acronis you are either lucky or in serious trouble.
