If your trying to
mirror your HD to another HD Acronis will do this but you need a blank HD. This will allow you to swap drives keeping your current setup.
Backing up your data to me is just having it at another location other than your main HD, if your main drive fails your data is safe. Of course backing up this drive to an external would be one step more. Copy and paste to move the files.
