I have used Acronis versions up through 2018 in the past to do backups and clone drives etcetera. This version has a little bit more of a learning curve to it, as it is much different than the older versions. Still a good product in all. Cons, doesn't come with much printed material to help only URLs to lead you to websites. Also does not come with acd you must download it from the web. On the other side you can create a bootable CD using this product and your own black CD.
