the reason i opted to use acronis was so i can clone my entire int. hhd ( os and such ) that way if something happens to my hhd. i could just swap it in just a few minutes, so that i dont have to re-install everything, i have all my kma files on a separate ext. drive and also has a separate back-up drive..if i have to add new songs i import it to my ext. drive and then copy it to my back-up drive...and that is just my opinion but if you're happy doing it the other way, you should stick with it, btw acronis can also clone diff. folders..just a question, are you cloning your entire hhd, or just diff. folders? i just don't understand what you meant by updating your singers database, are you adding new singers or deleting some?
