I used it for back-up cloning when I had both HD and BU WD drives. I did their 
back-up occasionally, but never had 
occasion to need it. Disk space is so cheap and cloning so easy and simple to 
use for recovery that I don't see any 
point in backing up a boot disk. Just clone it. If you need a belt and 
suspenders, rotate a couple of clone disks.

I found Reflect when I needed to clone a Toshiba HD to a Crucial SSD for my 
netbook+. I liked it quite a bit more than 
the Acronis.

Now, with a Samsung SSD on my desktop, I can't use the WD Acronis, but I would 
use Reflect anyway.
