Yeah, thats why I keep using that Acronis True Image and since it doesn't check with Acronis, it will work forever until say there is a new drive format that it doesn't support, and that's very unlikely given that I don't bother with linux except to do backups And I use an external 2TB drive to store backups and backup 2 systems to that
