But what from Anna pointed out, and I quote:
"Casper 5 has the capability of partition-to-partition cloning in addition
to (complete) disk-to-disk cloning."

So apparently Casper CAN also just clone a partition, and not JUST clone the
WHOLE drive.

You and she are correct. Pardon my oversight/error.

That said... MOST (read: average home) users want to backup the entire
drive. Agreed?

And from all this discussion - including many of the past discussions
- wouldn't you ALSO agree that the Acronis product is the best for the
average home user?

You don't have to answer: I know you decided to use it after much
back and forth here about Casper with Anna.

ONE MORE TIME: I think Casper is a FINE program, and no other program
does what it does better than it does. I LOVE IT. But I ONLY use it
to cover me in case a very specific situation arises: if my system
drive completely dies and I want to get back up and running in mere
seconds. I use ATI to create backup images to cover ALL OTHER
situations.

I think ATI is a BETTER program overall for the average home user who
wants merely to backup the system drive and or specific collections of
data and to maintain those backups easily.

Not to mention that it (including its FREE bootable CD) is cheaper.
