Which version of Acronis?

There's just so many to choose from.

I guess I'm just looking for a personal version & a free one would be nice.

So which one do I want?

Use Windows Backup and schedule synctoy - both free. Spend the cash on some RAM or something more useful.

While Acronis True Image Home 2010 is not free, both Amazon.com and NewEgg.com recently were selling it for $23.99.

While I do like the Windows 7 "system image" utility, there is more functionality with a product like Acronis and for $23.99 was a worthwhile investment. I've already gotten my monies worth out of the product. The Try and Decide functionality is worth it alone if you like to play, take chances or otherwise experiment with something.

You can use Macrium Reflect for free, if you are only taking system images.

Acronis True Image WD 11.0.0.8311 free only for WD to WD hdd-s.
Moved XP x64 to another Hdd it worked fine.
Tomorrow I'l try with W7 x64.

So wait... there is a version that is for free for Western DIgital HDD's?

I know my passport is a WD, how can I check the maker of my internal HDD's with out ripping open my case? (there is a good chance they are WD, but they may be Seagates, so I want to know for sure)
