Need your advice-backup with ATI 2009
Hello, guys!
I'm going to backup my PC and want to buy new True Image 2009, i heard that Acronis has just released it.
What do you think about it?

Personally I like Acronis products, but I haven't used the new version.
Backing up and imaging are two different things. Back up involves having a 2nd or 3rd copy of a file on your hard drive.
Imaging takes a snap shot of the hard drive - files and all, great, but what if you just want to get one file back and you haven't made a recent image, but you have made lots of changes to your pc? This is were backup comes in handy, it is file based and you can back up just changed files, so you take up less space on the backup drive.
It could even be as simple as copying files to a usb stick and then when you have 700mb worth on the stick, burning that to CD and that way you create a library of files you can go back to.
Or you can use a backup program which holds all the files as one (compressed) file which you can open and look through later. This allows you to restore all the files, or just one.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
