I've got Acronis True Image 9.

I want to backup my standalone's o/s to a diferent physical harddrive on the
machine, with the priority being on simplicty and actually being able to
re-install when the o/s goes bad, or won't boot, a year or two from now.
The o/s is only about 7 gigs, and I've got lots of space, so that's not an
issue.

I have looked over the Acronis material, and even used their online chat to
ask about a straightforward way of doing it, without really coming away with
anything I want to operate on.

Can anybody give me a few streps and some overview info on this? Clone
versus image? How to for a boot disk.. what to do when a failure happens,
etc.

Thnx
