745191 2009-02-06 05:12:00 I use TuImage 11.
C drv (Ptn1) XP pro + Vmware-W98 with a swag of software.
Size: 21.4 gb, Free: 13.7gb
Size of Image file backed up to Seagate 250gb USB drive 2.62gb
Time taken: 2minutes 35seconds.

TruImage backs up the 7.77gb used, ignoring the free space.

If you wish to back up the entire partition tick the box "create an image using sector by sector approach". I have only used this with Linux, it takes much longer.

I never use system restore, mainly because it also restores the Virae & Adaware etc, also takes up disk space.
