Am I the only one here who uses bootable media only?
I am too scared to install TI2010 on my PC. I always just boot from the bootable media and create full disk images to a NAS. Every thing seems to wor, although I haven't had to test a full restore.
I am always leery of an application that digs it's hooks so deep into the OS to keep track of file changes on the fly etc....
Does Acronis provide a simple stand-alone application to read the images and extract single files from the images?

Same here. My computer is set to turn on automatically at 5:00am every day to do a backup (incremental image). Much more convenient than doing it manually via a boot disc.
I've done a dozen full restores or so and it always worked.

Is that enough to disable all hooks that TIB installs on a system? I'm sure it starts a number of services, Registry entries etc.
So, there is no separate stand-alone browser of image files?

There isn't any stand-alone TIB browser program. It would be nice if Acronis would release one.

There are also the NonStopBackup service and one or two others in the Services that are installed but I've never bothered to disable or stop them and have had no odd things happening on my system. I only disable the two items mentioned before in the Startup and I don't use NSB at all. Nor do I do any Incrementals or Differentials. I just do Full backups and only when I want to.
I also keep my system "lean and mean", (at least I hope so) by using software like CCleaner.
