Default How to use Acronis to backup o/s ?

Haven't used it. But I *have* used Partition Magic, Boot It NG, and
Acronis True Image, unlike some here, which gives me a different
perspective.



Bill:
Unless I'm mistaken the "it" you refer to is the Casper 5 program. Are you
indicating that in all this time we've discussed that program and have
gone
into extensive detail re its use & capabilities, etc., you haven't once
used
that program? Even the trial version?

I installed it some time ago but later uninstalled it and am still using
imaging, for several of the reasons we've already mentioned (like
multigenerational backups). So what I've learned (or not) about Casper has
come from reading your (and some other's) posts about Casper, and some vague
recollections of when I first installed it. I *do*, however, have
firsthand experience with the other programs (Boot-It-NG (aka BING), ATI
Home Version 11, and Partition Magic), which I have used. At this point,
just keeping track of those 3 is enough (and what they can or can't do very
well).
