You might also consider Image for Windows from:

It is an excellent product though a little bit 'geeky'.

It would be great help since I have started using trading software,
downloading data, and saving lots of files.
Not being a computer person and to make sure I understand this type
of product.
I can take a product like this and save my complete hard drive on say
a usb hard drive and it will automaticly backup the complete hard
drive when ever I want it to do it. Then if I have hard drive
problems, I can put the copy that is on the usb hard drive on my
machine hard drive and it will be just like it was, with all programs
and files the same as the last backup?
Is the above correct?
What would I need to do to put the back up copy on my machine hard
drive or a new hard drive? Or is it done basicly automaticly?
Thanks for the info,
This type of software is something everyone should have.

Microsoft's System Restore is very unreliable. It's just dumb luck
that it
worked for you. Consider getting a disk imaging application and do
the disk
image backup every day. One of the best programs is Acronis True
Image,
I've been using it for years. The way it works, when you get into a
problem, it wipes out (formats) the whole disk (or selected
partitions),
including your operating system, and then restores everything from
the
backup image.
