Acribis Backup Video Ad.

Acribis Backup Video Ad.
This is a recommendation to watch an advertisement from Acronis, a software company.

No, not a recommendation to buy their product.
Instead, a recommendation to watch their advertisement video.

It'll only take you about three minutes of your time and it helps people be aware of the importance of having a backup method. It is a low key, a low pressure advertisement that portrays ordinary people who are intelligent and productive but somewhat complacent when it comes to backing up information on their laptops. Would that apply to you?
Here is the video.

(Scroll down to see the video)

 I think the product is very overpriced. Yet on the other hand, what value would you put on everything you've worked on for the past six months? Most likely a lot more than the $50 they're asking for the program.

My personal recommendation is not worth much. I'm not in your category. I am an old retired technician /programmer that learned long ago to have a backup thing. I never was smart enough to get by without nit.

Recommendation:
Either have backup plan,
Chance  encounter blackout ban.

It can be had for $23.99 U.S.  every day via their site...so the price quoted is misleading at best...
The Free alternative that accomplishes the same thing and is easy to use would be Macrium Reflect.

Windows 7 has Image Backup built in.
