I use the 2010 version as my primary back up but like they say, you can't ftp backups with it. You have to get this add-on pack that I think costs about what the original program costs. Even so, I was tempted because I like the interface and the fact that I've been able to restore from an Acronis backup when the windows bk was fubarred.
Just for the record, I would mention that Cobian backup is a free utility that does everything Acronis does including encrypted remote backups. I still like Acronis, but if you need certain features that might be considred more advanced, checkout Cobian.
