In particular, we found it was rock-solid during our testing on a variety of machines, something we haven't always found with previous versions. Overall, the changes in True Image 2013 are even more subtle than those in 2012, but it is an improved product.

There are some subtle improvements to the utilities, not least to the Clone disk function which, like the rest of True Image, now supports disks using the GUID Partition Table (GPT) - essential to modern PCs with large bootable disks. Like previous versions, True Image 2013 comes with a comprehensive set of tools for protecting your computer and recovering from various problems, including the excellent Try&Decide mode which lets you experiment with potentially destructive changes in a safe environment where mistakes can be reverted. The Recover files option lets you browse the backup's contents and various versions for files or folders to restore, and set whether to restore them to their original location or a new one. Restoring a backup can be as simple as clicking the Recover button in the list of backups, selecting the disk or partitions to restore then clicking the Recover Now button, but this will restore the entire backup to its original location. The slick Android app handles synchronisation, but we prefer dedicated services such as SugarSync
