No, the Windows box is not doing an image backup (if by that you mean it
makes an image of the whole disk).  Acronis *can* do that, but that's
not the way I'm doing it for that box.

I'm likely going to use one of the other ones that were suggested; less
complicated and will do what I need it to do. :-)

Thanks for the reply!
