Acronis TI 11 Home or TI Home 2009?

I have Acronis True Image 11 Home as well as Acronis True Image Home 2009. Are both compatible with:

Windows 7 64-bit?
Windows 7 32-bit?

Also, i read somewhere that the best practice is not to install Acronis on the system for an image backup, but to run it off DVD. I am noob in this department - can someone please list steps I need to do so? Or point me in right direction where I can read up?

TIA.

PS BTW what is Acronis's naming nomenclature? That is, which series is the current one - one with version number (e.g. 11) or one with one year (e.g. 2009) in it?
 
TI 11 is older version
T1 2009 is almost most recent as they just came out with TI 2010 version

TI 2009 should work fine with XP / Vista / Windows 7

You are best off to make the bootable cd and run the program from
that as opposed to running an image or clone from within windows.

Agree with this.. All will work with Windows 7... I use TI 11 on my netbook as the other have issues with it.

The issue about installing TI (which I didnt like) is that it writes something to your MBR. This is used for sense one of the "F" keys at boot up to access the TI manager/application. You can clear the MBR with the /mbr switch. I think the problem I had was that the TI MBR write interfered with the ability to modify "on-the-fly" HDD partitions.

Post Note:
Now I remember. Other imaging programs such as Drive Copy dont like what TI writes on Sector 0 (& think that some kind of Disk Management is being used such "OnTrack's Disk Manager") & refuse to proceed. MBR needs to be cleared using the /mbr switch.

Acronis True Image 11.0 seems to work ok with Windows 7 64-bit, I've used it for a while. I also downloaded True Image 13.0 (2010) and it seems to work fine as well and has some new Windows 7 features.

It ONLY writes the code for F11 Recovery to the MBR if you tell it to. It is not the default.

I'll look in the manual, but I have TI9 & dont recall an option to by-pass the write for the F11 code.

I've used all versions since TI8 and installing the F11 Recover at boot is not installed unless you install it and use the " Acronis Secure Zone ".
