Paragon Backup - a bit of a silly question but I have to ask it

[KatanaDV20]

Hey gang

Lookin for some advice to clear the cobwebs formed in my head....

Im interested in Paragons backup software and trotted along to their website to buy it. I got there and came across this:

http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/features.html

Thats right - they have a free version called Paragon BackUp Express.

Ok heres wheres I've lost the plot completely - it appears that Backup Express does everything I could ask for (see the features list by clicking above link). Do I really need the full payware 9.0 version?:

Is the primary difference only that the payware version can make an *image* backup whereas the freeware version can only make "ordinary" (non-image) backups? The features lists have me a bit confused...

Yea I know...probably a thick question but I really like their stuff and I wanna start backin up my precious Flight Sim 9 installation.

Thanks for any input

Both Express and Personal do image based backups of the entire HDD or individual partitions, the difference between the two is probably in the recovery boot CD/DVD.
