FYI, I yesterday used that Windows 7 porgram for creating volume copies, and created an image of the HD of that gentleman's notebook I mentioned before. I used an old external HD he still had.

The procedure went like a breeze, and relatively fast although the external HD was 4 or 5 years old, he said, and no USB 3.0 connectors. When the machine was done, it automatically created also a rescue disc from which to boot in case of emergency, to copy back the image onto the main HD.

No need for Acronis or Paragon software anymore. Trust W7, I say. It does the job, maybe without gimmicks and candies, but it gets the job done. And that's what counts.
