No initial partitioning needed on your part. It should show you, before you hit the GO button, exactly what the result will be. I've been using Acronis since the company was formed and have had paid subscriptions since 2009.
The earlier use was with the free versions that are provided by hard disk makers, like WD. But it seems to me that that they are slipping. I've had real, days long problems getting a good clone and with UEFI usually their Windows based clone fails then you need to use a USB recovery program and then.the cloned image is the one that is bootable and must be removed to boot from the original. I like to clone my SDD to a hard drive and if I use Acronis I have to pull the hard drive to get back to the SDD no matter what settings I use in Bios. So.I'm going to try and find a better way.

The one thing that it will not do is partition an SSD properly for Win7. So I either use Parted Magic to do a secure erase and pre-partition, or EASEUS. Why did I bother to post this?
Just to say that there are a lot of perfectly good alternatives. And Ghost 8.0 does something for me that the others do not (at least, I've played with them and not been able to do it), which is to restore single files from a disk image backup.
I know that Acronis does this well.
