Many thanks for your helpful reply. I don't have sighted assistance readily
on hand, but I think I have managed to back up my system, although it was
very difficult. Tabbing didn't always seem to be telling me the truth about
where I was, and when it asked me to enter a folder name for my backup I had
to try several times before it worked. I have an external hard drive which
I use for backing up, and it does appear now to contain the backup file. I
am just wondering whether anyone has written any JAWS scripts for Acronis.
I am not accomplished in this area of JAWS.

Hi Wendy
I use Acronis a little - at least I've backed up my system and partitions -
the proof of whether this works would be with the restore function, which I
haven't had need of yet. When speaking to an acronis representative he
assured me it would make and restore a complete image so that everything
could be restored perfectly.
It's not too jaws unfriendly but it does need cursoring about with the Jaws
cursor. When you click on Backup you enter the Backup wizard, and can make
choices. If you wish just to back up your C drive it's pretty well set on
that. You have very few choices to make and need only click on the next
button to proceed to the next window. I found it useful to try it the first
time with a sighted helper - after that it's fairly straightforward.
The good thing is that you can backup to a variety of medium eg. disk, hard
disk or even the acronis zone which is a section of you hard drive selected
to store your latest working system. If the machine crashes , on reboot you
press F11 and it resets the machie to the last backup you were happy with.
It's worthwhile taking the time to use this - the representative assured me
it is the best one on the market, even better than Ghost (he would of
course, but I've heard a number of people saying it's good too.)
Hope some of this helps.
