Are the files for SM 2.72 in locations that most [or possibly all] backup

Also, I have a new GoFlex external drive and I'm trying to decide what is the
simplest backup solution for essentially a novice. I have the choice of using
Gateway's My Backup software [that I don't know what it will include] that has
a hot
key for use; the Seagate back up software on the drive [same problem, don't
know what
it will backup]; or wiping off the software on the drive, and trying the free
Macrium
software to clone the drive.
I used Acronis software on a smaller Maxtor hard drive for my desktop for many
years,
but I never had to restore anything,, so all I can say about that, was it was
easy to
setup and use. :)
I don't have a lot of irreplaceable files like many people, I just want
protection if
I should have to restore to a date that would lose a lot program downloads,
mail, and
other personalization on my laptop.
I had been copying earlier versions of SM on my XP laptop on a flash drive. This
laptop is Win7 and I'm still wandering in the dark with it. ;) Any advice is
appreciated....

You mention Acronis, so I'll assume you're referring to partition backups. Acronis
would likely still work. What's wrong with that?
I used Partition Magic to back up for many years, until Symantec let it go to seed.
When I went looking for something to replace it I Googled user reviews and ended up
downloading http://www.partitionwizard.com/, both the Windows and boot CD versions.
With the caveat that I haven't been forced to restore anything yet (unlike PM, which
managed to save my you-know-what more than once over the years), so far so good. If
you want to download just one I recommend the linux-based .ISO, which will be
portable, and independent of Windows.
