I have used Acronis for years. I stopped updating with v10 because they
ruined the user interface with the 'feature creep' so I can't find
anything, but it works ok if you spend enough time to weed through all
the useless garbage.
I would like to see any responses you get because I definitely will not
upgrade to the new Acronis garbage user interface (just my opinion). I
would like something open source that allows incremental backups so that
I can make one full backup one day a week and then incremental backups
the rest of the week and them move those 7 files to a folder and start a
new series so I never have to go back more than 1 day and the backups
are quick.

I realize VMs are a super cool thing but I've not gone that route yet,
and 2 machines seem like a better risk than just having 1. Of course,
a good backup is a MUST. My backups are usually only of the
Development folder (which includes all customer correspondence too).
Always wanted to have a backup "image" but years ago I became
disenchanted with Norton Ghost as it seemed to not deliver on imaging
the same thing to the new machine. Been too long to recall the
details, though.
What do you folks use to safeguard your systems in case of hardware
failure? Any Norton Ghost users?

LOL. Yeah, long-term plan is always a challenge.
However, keeping VMs around with the last few OSes is pretty necessary
if you have to support clients with a couple of different versions.
Had a bugger of a problem recently that I was struggling to repro
until the client mentioned they were on WinXP!

Decisions, decisions....what would you do? I'm guessing "just buy the
2nd machine for a better long-term plan" (due to hardware life
expectancy).
"long term plan" with regard to Windows makes me LOL. :)
