Yep, and USB external hard drives are even cheaper per GB. Here in Australia an 8G USB stick retails for around AU$50, while a 250G 2.5 external HDD is around AU$140 by comparison (about 1/10 the cost per GB). Anne Wilson wrote: On Sunday 22 June 2008 15:27:34 Les Mikesell wrote: Anne

I've had good results using Clonezilla for complete backup of OS+data. It backs up entire disks/partitions, so includes everything including configuration files, tweaks etc. It is fast compared to something like Ghost, and can backup to devices (USB stick or external HDD) or a network
