Hi,
I'm having mp3 files, films, documents in another partition and I can copy
normally to the external drive.
It's practical having a next partition for your data. But if I'm restoring
a drive c:, where is system located, I'm using Norton Ghost and I need
sight assistance.
I tried to had a second system, but if something in mbr or boot sector is
wrong, it'll not help.
For windows backuping software, I don't believe, because it'll only copy
data to the same sector, where were located and not rewrite complete drive,
what can be bad, because, if you had a virus there, you are in bad
situation.
I tried speak with Acronis team, but no successful, if they can make some
sound bookable speaking dvd. Main problem is, that they'll not do it,
because money.
With best regards,
Marek Durila

Disk Image for Windows, a tutorial for which is available on the JAWS Users
Audio page, is theoretically accessible as long as you create your backup
image on DVD. IN the tutorial, the backup image occupies only two DVDs.
However,if you have a lot of data to back up including MP3 and video files,
using DVDs to hold it all is very impractical. That's because a
single-layer,single sided DVD,the most common type can store only 4.7gb of
data. A typical, real world backup might contain 30 to 40gb of data, even
in compressed form, which means you would need a lot of DVDs to hold it
all.
This could get very messy and cumbersome. So the only practical
alternative
is to create the backup image on an external hard drive. But the problem
is
that restoring an image from an External drive requires sighted assistance
because you have to use a special boot CD which would not be accessible. I
have successfully created backup images of my C drive using both Paragon
Drive Backup Express and Macrium Reflect, both of which are free, but I
would need sighted help to restore the images using the boot CDs I created.
Needless to say, I have not attempted to reload my system this way yet, but
at least I have the backups ready just in case. There's just no way around
this dilemma.
