Acronis True Image question

I know Acronis True Image creates a compressed image file that enables you to back up the entire system.

I know it can clone drives too.

Can you use clone as a backup? Here's what I want to use it for. I'll use it to image the system drive. But I also have a bunch of MP3s that I want two copies of. One on my home computer. One on an external that I bring to work. I want to keep the music directories identical so that, if I rip a CD, it'll be on both hard drives. Will Acronis do that?

Also, my external hard drive came with the express version of Retrospect, that I never bothered to install. Is Retrospect good enough or should I get True Image?
 
no true image doesnt do that.
Retrospect sucks period

get a dif app to duplicate your mp3 directory. My suggestion: HandyBackup
 
I use a free command-line application from Microsoft called Robocopy to do just that. I use it to mirror my data (MP3) to an external HD.
