Stewart, You've seen the answers from Rick & Dave but there is another option that I use but does require a bit of work. I have a spare Hard drive that I have two partitions on. I keep by backup images on partition 2On partition 1 I keep a copy of my OS, basic programs, and Image for Windows. If my C drive ever becomes corrupt or whatever, all I do is pop the side cover off my computer and then unplug my C drive and hook it up to the spare drive. Machine boots right up and runs fine. Then I take a USB bridge adapter (think that is what the little rascal is called) and hook it up to my C drive and then plug it into a USB port. I then run the Image for windows program and select whatever image I want to put back on the C Drive . When process is complete, simply shut down and put everything back as normal and you are good to go. A bit complicated but a doable option if you don't want to use DVD's

It offers several options from no compression at all, as such creating the image quite quickly to the max which is much slower. I used two single sided DVDs available at your local electronic store. Note the version I used when I created tutorial one can't perform this trick. That was 2.03 if memory serves. They are up to around 2.73 by now. I have been receiving free upgrades for over 4.5 years now.

How did you accomplish this amazing feat? A standard single-layer, single-sided DVD can store approximately 4.7 gb of data, while a single-layer, double-sided DVD can store 9.4 gb of data. So assuming you used two single-layer, double-sided DVD's, you could only store a total of about 19 gb of data. Did you use some hard-to-find double-layer, double-sided DVD's, which can hold about 18.5 gb each? Or did you perhaps use blue ray disks, which have a much higher storage capacity than standard DVD's, but are much more expensive and thus not really practical for frequent image backups? Or is there some magical technique for cramming more data onto a DVD than it can physically store? Just curious.
