How you use Acronis is a matter of choice. I have used this product for
years and have been very pleased. I do incremental backups about every week
and backup the entire drive to an external hard drive. If your environment
changes frequently then more frequent backups would be recommended. I use
the Acronis default settings for the other stuff such as compression. Before
you begin be sure to burn the Acronis bootable CD and change your BIOS
settings to boot from CD first. Good luck.
