Acronis True Image

I used to do the same thing.

A number of full backups progressing from a clean install through a number of basic applications.

I find that by the time that I want (need) to use one of those initial progressive backups that my installation has changed enough so that the initial install backups aren't really worth it, and I end up pulling data off of a recent backup (incremental).

I only wish they could come up with something that doesn't instal as a running process.

I have gotten into the habit of using the rescue disk to boot the system and make the image. No need to install this way.
