This WD is also a rather old edition based on TI 2009. You would probably be better off with the full Acronis version.

Joe: Thanks for your comment. In my preceding message to Wizer, I report that the TI 2009 version worked well for me when I used the WD Passport (instead of my unsuccesful efforts to restore E6500 backups sent to my old Apricorn disks). And I like the TI 2009’s simplicity compared to descriptions I have read on Acronis websites about their current 2013 version. All I do now (with my older laptops _ and _ my E6500) is weekly backup images of my C: and D: partitions. I don’t do daily or semi-continuous backups.
However, the Passport as sold isn’t empty. It comes with files for a later version of WD Acronis that I have not yet tried using. As my time permits (setting up Windows 7 on my E6500 is proving to be a big “learning new stuff” project), I definitely will try the WD Acronis software that’s on the Passport.
