Why Stay In A Bad Relathionship
I've read of all the problems with Acronis 2010. I was one of them as well with issues. We've seen all the bashing; bugs, corruption of data, lack of support, costly upgrades, etc. I've moved over to ShadowProctect and couldn't be happier! Why do you stay, why not look at other products? What keeps you coming back for more?
I did go away. I did use other products.I came back for 2010 because of the features. Try & Decide (without needing a dedicated partition, or a reboot to activate) was the main pull. Nonstop backup is a winner as well, but I wouldn't have bought it for that alone.
Also, Acronis allows upgrades from several versions back. I think $30 for those two features alone is great value for money.
How do you find NSB on computer resources? I have heard it can slow your PC down which is the last thing you want.

Subjectively speaking, the only time I notice it is right after a reboot. It's not as low-level as T&D in that it doesn't appear to monitor for changes during restarts. Which means that by the time it is back into Windows, it has no idea what has changed and has to do a run through to figure it out. That means some disk churning, which is noticeable while it lasts.
Apart from that, I haven't even noticed. I have seen a CPU spike here and there caused by it, but the process runs at the lowest possible priority so it yields processor resources to anything that needs it.
My nonstop storage is an external USB drive, and my setup is a 3GHz dual core with 8GB RAM.
