The user is given the choice (both can be selected) to back up the operating system and/or personal data. Shown below is the One-Click Backup option. The home screen of Acronis True Image 2011 is designed with the novice user in mind, or for those users who simply want to back up their data with one or two clicks. The only thing that was required after the installation was a reboot. However, given the size of the install package (159MB) this is to be expected. The installation went smoothly with no problems, although it wasn’t the quickest installation I’ve encountered.

OVERVIEW: Overall this product is rate a buy.
