Backing Up

[ShaggyRS6]

What's everyone using for backing up disks these days? I used to use Acronis True image and just save image files. This still the way to go?

Apologies in advance for being a Dufus

Are you asking about what medium is used or the software to do it with?

Come to the 21st century.

Dropbox or similar, set it up so if you save files anywhere normal, it automatically uploads them.
Got it before a skydive and all the others came big, so may well switch once, it runs out.

Edit - should read more than first post.
Windows backup or
Get windows 8 with all it's sweeeet backup/refresh tools built in, which are even better.

Do you mean the boot disk fails to see your hard drive ?

I think there is some way of integrating drivers into the acronis boot disk
