Skuzzman is trigger happy today  :O

No, just a bit fed up with all the distractions from beneficial information being relayed to players.  Tired of hearing, from the public at large, they do not want to post here because of it.

This is our house and I am tired of the disrespect it gets.

Acronis True Image is what I have used for more than a decade. It's the best way to recover from a full blown disaster, too.

I've heard lots of good things about that.  Is it expensive?
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I think that if you buy an wd hd it will come with acronis for free.

The free version is extremely limited. There is a special running on Acronis right now, until the 7th. $30 for single PC and $40 for three.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

I use Acronis True Image Home 11.0 and I can vouch for its drive image backup/restore functionality (which has saved me on two occasions).  I make an incremental backup of C: every evening.  However, I've never tried to clone a drive onto a separate copy, nor can I vouch for versions beyond 11.0.

For incremental synchronizing of one drive to another, I like best DirSyncPro (which is free).

Just my opinion.
I use Paragon. Works well for me
My brother uses Acronis. Been  good for him.
I used Norton Ghost for years, really liked it. When I went to upgrade few years ago I tried the new Ghost and did not like it. To many bells and whistles.
