I was looking for a free alternative to acronis true image, and i stumbled upon drive image xml. I have a few questions about it that the FAQ did not answer:

1. Can i backup a full volume and restore it back to the same drive after i reinstall vista?

2. Can i just clone the whole volume from lets say, a 120gb drive to a 750gb drive, and be done?

3. Is it as good as acronis true image; is it a reliable backup utility

Thanks for your help.
