It sounds like you want to perform an image backup of your entire system so
that you can restore everything to the way it was in the event your local
drive fails. If this is the case, your options are very limited. Although
you can use an imaging program to back up your system without sighted help,
you will need tech savvy sighted help to perform the system recovery if your
local drive fails. This is because the recovery phase requires the use of a
special boot CD which is not JAWS accessible because there is no speech
available during this procedure. I personally back up my system every two
weeks using Macrium Reflect which is free and may work with JAWS 8, although
it does require using the JAWS cursor. If I ever had to restore my system
from this back up, I would need tech-savvy sighted help. On the JAWS Users
audio page is a three part tutorial explaining how to use a paid imaging
program called Image for Windows to back up and restore your system without
sighted help. The problem with this approach is that it requires storing
the backup image on a series of DVD's instead of an external hard drive,
which could be unreliable or cumbersome. And it requires performing the
recovery without speech by following a series of steps very carefully, so if
you screw up, you could have a real mess on your hands. If anyone else on
this list is aware of an imaging program that works with JAWS during both
the backup and recovery procedures and allows you to store the backup image
on an external hard drive rather than DVD's , I would sure like to know
about it.
