slighty away from original Q, but I have found Acronis easy to use compared to other imaging software.

Use implies you want a complete PC "image" rather than individual data files (say for an accounting system).

Backup to an external HDD is fastest option, but Acronis can also create an image directly to CDs. This takes some time, as a typical XP machine (say with 6-8 GB of OS, applications, and data) will need you to feed it 5-10 CDs.

Another Acronis plus (no I do not work for them!) is that their boot/recovery CD seems able to recognise external USB drives on many PCs.

This whole backup / recovery issue has more to it than we think...

Regards, Martinz
