    Acronis TI clones and images HDDs. This software is primarily for bootable USB media creation and it doesn't have cloning functionality.

    I like Win32 Disk Imager, but it is just to write a bootable image to USB media or read USB media bootable to write in an image.

    Comments about Duplicati as an Alternative to Acronis True Image
    Comment summary: Comments highlight that Duplicati is primarily a file backup program, whereas Acronis True Image is a disk imaging software. Several comments emphasize that Duplicati does not support disk cloning or imaging, which is a key differentiation between the two. One positive note mentions that, like Acronis, Duplicati supports incremental and online backups, indicating some overlap in backup functionalities, but disk imaging remains exclusive to Acronis.
