Hi,as I understand it Windows backup doesn't backup all system files. The whole point of a backup is so you can restore the whole drive.

Hi Barry,If you are using Windows XP, it has its own backup utility which is very accessible. If it is already installed on your PC, you can find it under System Tools. If it is not there, you'll need to install it from your XP CD, which is a fairly simple thing to do. For more information, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03july14.mspxI back up to an external hard drive and this utility works quite well for me.
