It took me a just a few days to get the necessary answer to the above question, thanks to thomasjk who gave a link to the Acronis Cleanup Utility: http://kb.acronis.com/content/14871
I downloaded/installed it, opened it, let it run, and every time it asked something I simply typed a "y" -without quotation marks- and pressed enter.

Interesting that it reported having found Acronis True Image Home 11 on my laptop, even though I did not see it anymore either in my Windows software list or RevoUninstaller's list, having uninstalled it, or so it seemed.  

Anyway, now after the reboot I have Windows 7's Backup & Restore working again in its default setting. Without ATIH 11 I trust. : D

Acronis True Image Home 11 sure is useful for those of us who want to save their backups on their internal hard disk -and perhaps for other reasons as well, like storing the backups on the remote server option Acronis offers, and some other things as well I am not familiar with- but for my basic needs I am satisfied with the W. 7 default backup program, and I don't mind having to use an external hard drive to save the backups on. But others might prefer to have the other options as well Acronis offers of course.

Different strokes for different folks...

You know I've really tried to be understanding with Acronis, but they just keep messing up.
Latest update now posts a message on startup that there was a task failure; plus I now cannot backup my disk!
To add insult to injury, I could not run windows backup because this product leaves it inoperable after uninstalling.
The final nail in Acronis' coffin as far as any further purchases from me is that the cleanup utility will not run.

So I provide this to those who want to simply get their Windows 7 backup and restore working again.
Forget Acronis. Copy these contents into a text file. Then change .txt to .reg and double click to add these entries to your registry.
I'm always skeptical about registry fixes - but since Acronis left me in the ditch and I was staring at a re-install anyway; I figured I had little to lose -
well shazaam; as I type this windows is backing up my disk; I'm a happy, happy man.
So long Acronis! Don't know what happened to your company - but you have really worked hard to turn away your base, so now you get the rewards of all that hard work. I'm gone.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsBackup]
"ValidConfig"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsBackup\ScheduleParams]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsBackup\Security]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsBackup\Status]
