Best Backup Strategy
Greetings!
I was wondering what the best and effective backup plan to implement for a user who is not concerned too much about personal files being backed up (since most of my personal files are saved on a separate external HD drive) but is more interested in saving applications/programs should they be lost in some unexpected event.
When I initially installed 2015 Acronis True Image, I did the initial full backup that the program asks but haven't figured out how or what action I needed to take after that (i.e. fullback, incremental or ?) given my specific needs that ensures my purchased applications are retrievable.
The reason I ask is because I have since purchased and installed additional programs since the initial full back and now wonder what action plan is needed to backup those programs should I need to restore in the future.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Thank you for the great advice, Enchantech. Will probably buy another external HDD/SSD for multiple backup options one with a clean system install and one for differential backups when I add applications in the future as you mentioned.
Cheers!
