Basically, to back up my more important stuff [my business info]I run a program called 2nd Copy (Centered.com) to back up my QBPro, Outlook & my business to a hard drive on my server. I then, each Friday, burn that to a cd/rw.
I also backup a bunch of other stuff, like downloaded programs, drum videos [I play drums] and other oddities as well.
The main reason I wanted this software is when I run into a situation where a client wants to move their data [OS & all programs, files, etc.] to a new drive. What I LOVE
about Acronis is that you can move everything from a larger drive to a smaller one. Why one would do this is beyond me, but it has the cabapilities to do so. But mainly for that reason.
I'll be playing with it's full capacity as time goes by but for now I'm EXTREMELY please with it.
Yours really isn't overkill, just thorough thinking.
