Back-up / Clone Programs and OS only with Acronis

Hello,
I am using acronis true image home 2010 on a Windows 7 Machine.  I would like to make a 'back-up' or clone of the OS and installed programs only, no other files (my documents, etc).  Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

Thanks,
JE

Hello thanks for the repsonses,
Please excuse my jargon as it seems to have been causing some confusion.

Again I am using Acronis True Image Home 2010.

I would like have a copy (clone? backup?) of my system in case my HD fails.  I would like to be able to put a new/fixed HD in the machine and be able to get back to were I was right now. I don't want to go back and install lots of software, find keys, delete bloatware, etc.  I'd like to do this without saving my files (mp3s, photos, etc).  Is this possible on  Acronis True Image Home 2010?

Thanks again,
Cheers,
JE

Yes, I viewed the manual.

"I'd like to do this without saving my files (mp3s, photos, etc). "

Can I make clone without my "personal files"?

Thanks,

As I said, if the you make disk clone, unfortunately you can not exclude files.
thanks
