So if either of those drives fails I will be able to restore them? Would I just partition the backup hard drive or will Acronis be smart enough to figure it out? I know that is a very specific question, but it would be nice to be able to back up my whole computer and separately restore hard drives if I needed to.
I took a quick look on the website and it didn't get into those specifics that I could find. But I do like the idea of making a restore point for upgrading to Windows 7 and having that as a backup encase the upgrade/install fails as I plan to do that in the future. The install, not the failure. Also I like that it keeps track of what files have changed and updates those in the backup instead of the whole thing every time.

For sure. You could even set up multiple scheduled jobs I believe, one to do the OS drive frequently, the other job to do the media drive less frequently. Or whatever.
