re: JFW-friendly backup systems.

Barry,
After doing some research in preparation for making my requests to Santa, I believe a Maxtor one-touch USB external hard drive would be a good choice for doing backups.
These drives feature a one-button backup process which may suit your needs, but I have heard that the software is not entirely JAWS friendly, so you may need sighted assistance when configuring it. 

There is a very JAWS friendly back up program called "Casper." It creates a
bootable backup of your complete hard drive.  Casper is Designed exclusively
for Windows XP, Casper XP makes it a snap to create and maintain a fully
bootable backup of your Windows XP hard disk.

Future Systems Solutions is the company that markets Casper.  They also make
a program for Windows 98.

Hi folks, I'm just coming into the 20th century and thought that I should start seriously backing up my PC contents and, from what I can gather, an external 
USB hard-drive looks like a good bet.
Does anyone know whether the backup software that they come with is JFW accessible - any recommendations for makes with known JFW friendly software? 

All the best,
