I would suggest Macrium Reflect Free edition or another imaging software (Acronis True Image, etc).
My suggestion is for someone to try it but only after backing up their computer first. I can't imagine Whisqu killing all their current 1.x customer base with the update. My inclination is that it will work fine if you have a current 1.96.7 subscription but that's just a guess. The information on their website is very sparse with concern to 2.0 in general and none whatsoever with regards to upgrading from 1.96.7 to 2.0. That's a very good question that I can not answer as I haven't tried things out yet as my sub ran out and I've not renewed though I might if I decide to do so after the trial expires (once I get around to installing it and testing it). If you have a SignCut Pro subscription, will it translate to 2.0?
