buf--FWIW, Acronis just sent me the announcement of the 2012 version today. An Upgrade costs $30. But I think this is only for one user.
Claimed improvements:
" With the newest Acronis True Image Home 2012 you can easily sync your files between several PCs and share them with your friends and family. An optional online-backup service adds an extra level of safety and you can save all your important information to a secure Online Storage and access it whenever you need it.
Plus, Acronis True Image Home 2012 provides you with flexible and user-friendly way to delay the start of a backup so that it doesn't impact your system and it also automatically restarts your backup if any task fails. "
