Acronis were mentioned in my other thread about an SSD so I thought I'd post this deal. Acronis is a back up / imaging software solution, rather than me explain it heres a few reviews...
Acronis True Image 2014 is £1.80 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/acronis-true-image-2014-personal-backup-restore-sync-key
Acronis True Image 2013 is £2.40 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/acronis-true-image-2013-pc-backup-and-recovery-software-digital-download-licence-key
Using the above license, can allow you to upgrade to the latest version half price if you so wish http://www.acronis.com/en-gb/personal/upgrade-backup/
There is also a hard drive caddy which includes the 2.5" Laptop Drive and 3.5" desktop drive size caddy along with Acronis HD for £9.99. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/pny-desktop-upgrade-kit-35-to-25-bay-adaptor-with-screws-screwdriver-sata-cable-acronis-true-image-h
The above kit means you can buy a new hard drive and use the caddy to "clone" your drive so you can simply swap the drives old>>new.
Apologies if overkill, last time I didn't post enough.

+1 for Macrium free... If you're a home user who just wants to say clone your existing HDD to a shiny new SSD, then there's really no need to spend a penny

Good software, great price though worth noting if you've purchased any Western Digital hard drives recently (I generally automatically go for WD drives) there is the Acronis True Image WD Edition free of charge.
Correct me if I'm wrong anyone but it looks pretty much the same. But at this price if you don't have an applicable drive then I'd recommend it, I've found it easy to use, fingers crossed I've never needed to actually check it works though!
Qualifying products for Acronis True Image WD Edition are as follows:
My Book Duo, My Book, WD Caviar RAID Edition, WD Caviar Blue, WD Blue SSHD, WD Blue / SE / SE16 (SATA II / III), WD Blue, WD Green, WD Green / GP, WD Black SSHD, WD Black, WD Black2 Dual Drive, WD Red (Mobile), WD Red, WD Red Pro, WD Re+, WD RE / WD RE4, WD Se, WD AV-GP, WD VelociRaptor, WD AV, WD Protégé, WD Laptop Mainstream , WD Xe, WD Desktop Mainstream , WD Desktop Performance, WD Network, WD S25
Just download from their website - I think it automatically checks you have a qualifying drive in case you were thinking of downloading and don't have a WD drive.
Sorry didn't know I had to make links, linkable :/

Nice Find OP - heat added. Is there a way to buy this from scan without paying for delivery?
As this is a digital download and nothing is delivered - seems odd postage is added?

How do you remove the carriage fee of £4.57? It's a digital download!

Having this knocks £15 off True Image 2016 if you then want to upgrade to the latest version

You could try selecting collect from store to get rid of postage then message them about the order. If not then are they actually posting out keys? Lol
