Win7 has a good built in imaging setup but I use Active@ which is about $50 because I image over a network and home premium can't do that. I can insert the boot disc and browse all the data in my image if I need a particular file as well. It has saved my bacon once or twice | gary67 (56) | ||

Redirect your documents etc to a secondary drive which you backup, image the main c: drive and then create a recovery CD... If anything happens to the C: drive or other the PC period, you can dump the image down to a new drive or PC and you have your data on a 2nd drive and backed up! |

This is pretty much what I do, daily data backups and monthly image to a server |

| 1219240 | 2011-07-28 17:37:00 | I have a 2nd hard drive installed on my PC and use Casper to create an image to the 2nd HD - the machine is dual bootable. Actually, I disconnect the power to the back-up HD - makes booting up much quicker - then reconnect whenever I want to make a back up. |
