That's good that it works out for you. Must be rocket science because I've
never once been successful at backing up and restoring a Windows
installation once in all the years I've been doing this. Not once.

tapes did suck but u are wrong.
Standby disk has saved me numerous times from F ups and virus.
Nothing beats a fully bootable backup if a drive fails. Also supports
drive pooling.

There is no other choice to make a decent backup than to save your
irreplaceable data and just re-install. Backup software sucks! Backup
tape
drives suck! Norton Ghost sucks! There is no reliable method to backup
your hardrive other than to make an ISO of it and store it on an other
hardrive. Backups just plain suck period because the computer world
changes too fast and operating systems change too fast to make a
reliable
method that has legs! Get a second or third hardrive and a couple of 8
or
16 gig thumb drives and save your irreplaceable info and just accept it.
I've been trying to find a reliable method to backup my data for years.
I
once spent a considerable sum of money on a tape drive that would not
work
period. Duplication of irreplaceble data is the only method that I've
found that saves my ass. I once had a daily log that I had updated
religiously for years and lost it all because my hardrive failed. That
data can never be replaced. It is gone forever. Still pissed about that!
