For complete disk backups:
I use Drive Snapshot - have used it for 6-7 years and it has saved my hide
several times. Complete backup of a PC with 200GB data including Windows runs
in about 2 hours. Backup size on USB disk is around 100GB. Backups can be
mounted and Windows Explorer used to browse for individual files. Cheap,
fast, small and reliable.

Note the web site doesn’t make this clear, but it is easy to restore C: from
Windows too – it offers to restart and run the restore before windows boots –
similar to Windows Update etc
Some time ago the best one in the reviews was Acronis disk backup. otherwise
Norton Ghost.
Key folders Backup
If you want to quickly backup a few key folders to a USB drive zipped up then I
have one: - wrote just such a program at the request of Christchurch clients
who couldn’t get at their server for 6 weeks (they had tapes but no server with
the tape drive and software and the network supplier also was locked out of
their office). Takes from a few seconds to a minute or two depending on size
of folders . Program contains ZipKit so there are no external DLL’s and its
nearly as fast as Pkzip/Winzip.

Can anybody recommend a good backup system, just for backing up to an external
Hdrive?
I downloaded a trial version of "Nero BackItUp" but appears poor in UI, slow as
a dog and poor setup options.
Thanks
John
