I had Acronis True Image on my old XP computer, and it did a good job, saved my skin
several times. Now I have Win 7 64 bit Home Premium and I also bought a new Seagate USB 3 hdd with the usual recovery software. Not only that, but my Gigabyte mobo has a utility for image restoration. With all these options, I don't want to spend 60 dollars for the latest Acronis. I need to go with one, obviously. I would appreciate an informed opinion as to
my choice of backup/recovery methods. I've already made boot discs from Windows and from the mobo utility.

Thanks
