[bcab] Re: Back up programme

Tom,

That would make it easier, admittedly.  I use a separate partition for my back 
ups.  The drive will back up at anywhere between 1 10th and 1 20th of the 
original size of the original drive.  Hope this helps.  Reinstall really helps 
when you know the layout of your files well.  After doing it a few times, you 
could memorise the keyboard commands to reinstall.  It takes about 25 different 
button presses.

Roger

  thanks, Roger, I've got an external hard drive so might even have less 
problems than you.

    Hi Tom,

    I use Norton Ghost and find it easily accessible for backing up the drive 
but not so when it comes to uploading the back up.  If you have sighted 
assistance, you can quite easily back up every drive and steadily go through 
the steps to reinstall each drive with someone who can help.  This is what I 
did then saved the instructions on to CD in audio.  I use Jaws myself and all 
of the operations are accessible via the keyboard, it's just that you run from 
disc before the installed speech files are loaded.

    On the whole, Norton Ghost I found to be an excellent product and haven't 
needed to look anywhere else for another similar.

    Roger

      After a crash, and probs with NT backup, I'm looking for a backup prog 
that will back up the system.

      I've come across Norton's ghost, but, wonder whether anybody has used 
this. Any other suggestions, particularly want to make sure jaws accessible.

      Tom
