Is ATIH 2011 too risky to use?

I've read a lot of this forum lately (Since upgrading to ATIH 2011). Judging by the number of posts/threads about a large number of "significant" issues people are having with 2011, my sense is that this is a product released way too soon. In my opinion, a backup/recovery program must be reliable or it simply isn't worth a nickel. From my own experience, I simply cannot rely on it since I cannot perform some of the most BASIC recovery functions I need.

I will say that I have been able to create backups reasonably reliably with 2011, but so far am completely unable to do disaster recovery restores using the boot CD. I don't care how good the backups are - they will be useless if I cannot do a disaster recovery restore.

Until this is fixed, I wll be going back to 2010 version and will probably not be sending any more upgrade $$ to Acronis.
