Thanks Bushfiva
I do actually have "Acronis True Image Home" and also "Acronis Boot Rescue Media Builder". Will either of these do what you recommend?
Yes, the media is software not movies. Once I've backed it up, would it allow me to then install it on my new laptop that I should be getting in a weeks time? Or is it a case that the programs will copy but the registry files would then be missing, therefore I'd need to try and contact the software maker to try and get a new serial number and password to reactivate some of the programs on the laptop?
Thanks for your help.
