PCWorld review of 9.0 Personal (not free) - apparently the new version can do less than an entire drive/partition. Not sure if that applies to the free version - this link on the free version says no.

PCMag review of previous version of Personal (non free) edition - they liked it except for the fact that version only did an entire partition

AFAICT based on a quick look - the free version doesn't offer the option to schedule regular backups.

You might want to use this once in a while (weekly? monthly? image your drive at least once, now, unless you want to redo all the setup when it crashes) - but also use something like Karen's Replicator to automatically run a daily backup of your files. Having it run automatically is the main point of having a backup program.

BTW, even if you don't want it for backups - one thing a good drive imaging program can be really useful for is moving to a new computer, or (especially) upgrading your boot (system) drive, by copying the partitions to the new drive with all the hidden files and other Windows stuff intact.
