How hard is it to use Acronis Plus Pack (or ATI 2014 Premium)?...
I never fully understood what the Plus Pack (now included as part of ATI 2014 Premium) is actually good for. I realize that it is used to recover the image of one hard drive to a different hard drive. But does this mean a different type of drive, say from an HD to an SSD? Or from a 500GB HD to a 1TB HD? Or just plainly from an old laptop to a new laptop? And is it better suited for experienced users or for just about anyone?
I would rate myself as somewhere in between, maybe closer to the latter...
This now becomes more important to me as I try to decide whether to upgrade to ATI 2014 or to ATI 2014 Premium.
And finally, is there any detailed manual for that function?
Sorry for my ignorance. Any help much appreciated.

It also allows some operations iwth Dynamic Disks. Check the manual for detail.

Thanks Thomas and Scott. Yes, I realize that to restore to the same HD or to a similar HD there is no need for the Plus Pack (or for the same functionality provided by ATI 2014 Premium. In fact, I have done this many times and the last time was just 2 days ago... Really.
What is not so clear to me is how much expertise is it expected from someone who needs to recover an ATI image into different hardware, meaning a different size or a different kind of main drive (regular HD or SDD) or even to a different machine altogether. In other words, is it something that the median user could wisely decide to do or, on the contrary, something one would've better leave to the experienced user?
After all the wise comments from Scott that I could read across these forums, this would be the tipping factor on my decision on buying or not buying ATI 2014 Premium.

You may want to review this link http://kb.acronis.com/content/34283 for the 2013 Plus Pack to see if you would feel comfortable doing a restore to dissimilar hardware. You will need the proper drivers for HDD chipset.
