Installed on XP Pro without problems needs restarting though - used the free version of the same software b4 and was pretty happy with all the options, nice to see the facility to clone disks and partitions in the pro version, over all nice little program that can save you some time in case when your hard drive dies - just make sure to put your backups on the different drive :)

as usual free equivalents (backup only):
EASEUS Todo Backup Home - http://www.easeus.com/download.htm
NTbackup - XP pro has it alredy preinstalled for XP home:

As I have a backup solution, I'm not going to test this, but I did read the user manual. It lacks some basic functionality, like no VSS support, doesn't compress when imaging, doesn't give you the option not to store "empty" sectors when imaging, and some of the features, like hardware-independent restore, are only available in higher-priced versions.

As usual, XP users lose out. Windows 7 already has a decent backup solution, can create a recovery environment, image the disk, and do incremental backups of user data. Windows 7 also integrates backups and System Restore Points into Previous Versions of files.

If you're going to pay for a decent backup solution, then you have many more options. I prefer near-continuous backup solutions, of which there are a number. Paragon can't handle that, my RAID volumes, or proprietary OEM partitions. I bought but never used Acronis because of numerous complaints of problems and they didn't get around to supporting RAID until circa the next version. I went with ShadowProtect Desktop because it handles all of my needs--SSD, RAID, dual WinPE environment, near-continuous backups, automatic consolidation, all hardware-independent P2P, P2V, V2P, regular verification, direct VirtualBox support, boot repair features, writable backup images, truncatable backup images, mountable backup images in Windows Explorer, automatic backup chain resolution, selectable "free space" backup, etc.--and it has a reputation for working.

At the top of this website are the requirements:
System Requirements: Windows 2000 /XP/ Vista/ Windows 7.

I use XP (happy user, never problems), I tried and it works fine. Can I believe my eyes?

#26 'Rob.C' shares the same experience. So, I can believe my eyes!

#9 'Fubar', quote "As usual, XP users lose out."
It seems to me mr. fubar, you cannot believe your eyes now. May be we have to pinch your arm, XP-users didn't lose out (as usual I might add).

Installed on Windows XP pro, sp3 with no issues.

at the home tab you have choice to:
backup selected files,partitions or your entire computer.
recovery of files, partitions or entire computer.
create backup strategy with a backup plan.
Clone an exact copy of hard disk or partition.

Under the tools tab you can :
check image integrity,
create a emergency disk to put on USB or disk
mount image

I Ran a complete drive backup in under 10 minutes creating a 6.5GB compressed file.
Than ran the Bootable media builder to make a emergency disk, that completed in seconds resulting in a 46.5MB .iso file that I can burn to disk,or put on usb drive.
For the price of $29 You are getting one very useful program. So for us to get it for free is a treat in my opinion.

This works perfect so far for me.
Thanks GOTD And CHENGDU YIWO Tech Development for this giveaway.
