User Data

Hi there guys. I'm about to reformat and upgrade to W7 RTM from 7232.
I have one question though, is ALL of my personal data stored in the "Users" folder in my main drive?

If I back this up, will I only need to reinstall software and then import the Users data? I'm hoping things like save-games and bookmark data will all be there.

Generally yes. In the vast majority of cases backing up the Users folder will be sufficient. However it's always worth having a scout around for any programs that have dumped things in non-standard places.

What about hte "Program Data" folder located in the C drive?

Also, Acronis wants to create a backup archive.
Is there a way of getting it to just copy the files over directly?
