Question About Correct Backup Method I Should Be Using
I made a full backup after installing Windows and running Windows Update. I made an incremental backup after installing my major applications. I made a final incremental backup after finalizing the installation of Windows, running a disk cleanup, and defragmenting. I thought I had three pristine images of each stage of the installation process should I ever want to revert to one of them. I also make an incremental backup before installing: service packs, new programs, programs that expire, and major software (anti-virus, software firewalls, Office, the applications that come with my hardware, and browsers).
Will these incremental backups work? I mean, can I pick any one of the three to revert to or do they have to go in order?
Do I want to be using differential backups instead?
Also, where do I view my serial number so I can register my software? And where do I find the "Check for updates" button?

Pat L,
Where do I find the serial number and "Check for updates" button in ATI 2010 Home?

You can find the latest build from your Acronis account.

Certain 2010 builds do not show your serial number (in the about ATI menu item). If you cannot find it, you will have to contact Acronis.

John,
On some versions, the top help menu is not visible and you must depress and hold the alt key for the menu to be visible. While holding the Alt key, most of the information you need should be visible.
If you bought the retail package from a store, the serial is part of the contents.
If you bought on line with an online download, then the serial is supplied on an email where links to downloads are included.
If you examine the install file, you will also find the build number as part of the file name.
Once you have registered your serial with Acronis, the download page becomes accessible where you can download the most current builds for your version.
