   BK> TW> Acronus True Image is a very good one you need to buy. And   
   BK> TW> it enabls you to eirher make a "Clone(And Exact Copy of a   
   BK> TW> Hard drive usabel by a simple swap) or an Image(A   
   BK> TW> compressed copy enabiline more then one backup on a hard   
   BK> TW> drive under different file names).   
      
   BK> TW> If the idea of a swapable clone is attractive the Free   
   BK> TW> Version of "EaseUS Todo Backup" is a good one   
      
   BK> I forgot, Laplink's "True Image". The advantage being, they also   
   BK> have PC Mover, which will move your programs between computers,   
   BK> including settings and serial numbers etc. Bit expensive, but   
   BK> they frequently offer discounts.   
      
   I first used Lap Link back in the DOS day for backups. I even bought the   
   combo Serial/Parallel Lap Link cable for doing the Backups.   
   Later in my Win 98 day I used the old seperate PC Mover to migrate to a   
   newer computer.   
      
   BK> Oh, and watch magazines such as PC Pro. They have DVDs with   
   BK> software on them. Often they offer last years program free to   
   BK> get you to try it and then upgrade to this years. Sometimes they   
   BK> are disk imaging software.   
      
   BK> And I forgot to mention, Norton Ghost includes Ghost Explorer   
   BK> that allows you to look into the image and extract individual   
   BK> files or subdirectories.   
      
   True Image can can also look into an Image and extract data   
   files/folders.   
   OF course you can do the same thing with a Drive Clone. Just hook it up   
   with an USB adapter or in my case I have an Unused SATA data and power   
   cable haging out the side of my computer and transfer away.
