D900F Bios consult and Backup Software?

Hey guys.. ive got 2 questions for you today..
1) Im still at the first version of the D900F bios and i was wondering if its worth the risk to upgrade to 1.05? - what do i gain really?
2) Is there a backup and restore program that would make a Complete copy of the os hard drive (not just files but also all the programs - so if this ssd fails i dont have to install and configure everything again but just restore it from an external hd)?

 

There are many different backup software that will be suitable but I will only mention the ones I have tried. Acronis True Image will do the job but I use Drive Snapshot along with a custom Bart PE Bootable CD. Drive Snapshot will take more knowledge, more configuration and it doesn't come with its own recovery CD but Acronis True Image will be easier to use although I think it is unnecessarily bloated.

I have successfully restored my entire Operating System from the backup onto completely new disk drives many times with no problems. It took about 4 hours to backup my entire 400GB gaming partition (I think).

 

Thanks Acronis should be good enough for me..
on the other subject i already installed the newest bios and its not really an improvement.. turbo boost still doesnt work..

 

Definitely Acronis or Ghost 11.5

 

Acronis 2010 is pretty good.. simple and does the job..
