MY PC is a built one and it has a 120GB HDD with three partitions made:
C: 18GB with 10GB space free
E: 24GB with 5GB space free
F: 78GB with 12GB space free
C is the main drive and ACTUALLY there is not any important file storing in it, and I would like to just make an backup image for the system files only.

So, I was googling for a software to backup my system, and then I found out the one with this brand name: Acronis TRUE Image.
I don't know about it actually coz I dont have any experience on using it before.
What I know of it is that the 11th version has been released and it's quite expensive to buy. But I am rather concerned about if the latest version is the best one to use on my system
(Windows XP SP2, 2GB Ram, Dual Core CPU 1.6GHZ, 120GB HDD).

Which version are you using now?
How do you feel about it?
and which version of Acronis True Image do you think is the most stable one for beginner users?

Thanks in ADVANCE!This does not answer your queries about Acronis True Image but a free version of XXClone is AVAILABLE here. It only has the basic features but does produce a bootable clone of the system partition.

Perhaps you'd like to experiment with the free XXClone before rushing to part with your hard-earned.

Good luck.

Version 10

Twenty Bucks.

I still run version 8 but this will be fine for your needs.
