Review:

Acronis TrueImage 10 Home allows you to back up your data quickly and efficiently. A great idea would be to make an image of a fresh installation of Windows so you can reformat and restore the image instead of reinstalling. Great compression options allow you to save significant amounts of space. an create incremental and differential backups that backup.

There are three archive creation modes: full, incremental, and differential. A full archive backups all the data you have selected. For example an entire disk, partition, or selected folders. This takes up the most space and only needs to be used for the first backup for each archive.

An incremental backup contains only the data changed since the previous incremental or full backup. This allows your to save time and space. All backup files are required to perform a recovery.

A differential backup contains only data changed from the full backup. Unlike incremental backup, you cannot make a chain of backups. This option can waste space if you have many backups, but it can also be restored faster.

Conclusion:

Acronis TrueImage 10 Home is great. Store your images to a safe location and use the bootable media creator to recover your data whenever you need to.
