Hi Sandy,
A Differential backup contains all files changed since the last full=
backup. Advantage of differential backup is shorter restore time.
From Google<G>
It takes me about 2 hours to backup my 80 gig
hard drive.
25 min for the 20gig OS (C) partition only.
A USB drive or a laptop is the fastest grab it and run
method for getting out of the house in a hurry.

Is the full back up that you do each time called a differential backup?
About how long does it take to do a full backup? Like hours and hours? I
doubt I will need to be as thorough as you have been as I really have
nothing major to lose. I am just trying to simplify restoration after a
reformat. Also wanted something I could grab in a hurry and run with it in=
the event of fire, flood (not likely in Kansas!),tornado, etc. I have
important stuff on CDs and floppies but they are never really up to date.
I
wanted something that would update (backup) on a scheduled basis so I would=
always have current stuff.

P.S. I recall reading about a secure place on the C Drive that could be
created. That seemed to be different than the section called "Creating
another hard drive". I also read that one should do scan disk and defrag
before doing the clone.
