Hi John,
So, if I do back up to an external drive or another partition as
aposed to optical media, are you saying I wouldn't need to use a
floppy disk to boot from? I don't have a floppy disk drive. I also
don't mind about getting sited help to complete the task, so wouldn't
mind about selecting the image location. I just think for me, backing
up to a drive would be better than backing up to loads of DVD's.

Hi, my mistake. I realized having sent that message that I should have put
