Thanks, but I already use acronis for this and have already mentioned that I create OS backups. The issue is that I cannot just create a backup of my system every time I make a small change. Incremental backups of the software are needed for future deployment to other HTPC systems in my house.

Now I do, and I bought a Sony STR-DH540 yesterday, which I've seen very well reviewed as a nice entry level AVR. I'm going to buy the Energy Take Classic...

Most we've done before, but not necessarily together, so I consider it a win-win! Man, I'd love to get over to Europe at some point, but so far I've not been cashed up...
