From: MZB on 26 Jun 2010 23:29 Well, folks, I finally did spring for a new laptop: A Compaq Presario for $299 at Best Buy. It had good reviews on the BB site. Now a backup question. I have been using Acronis True Image 10 Home to back up my computers (all XP). The package does not mention Windows7. (The highest is Vista). Does anyone know if it would work on this machine? If not, any suggestions for a reasonably-priced easy-to-use understandable backup program? Mel

If you do try it be sure to test both the backup and restore because you don't want to backup and then find out you can't restore your files in an emergency. |
