Rick, I use Genie Backup Manager. They have a Home Edition and Pro =
Edition. I use the Pro edition, though I think the Home Edition is =
probably sufficient for most home users.

There are a lot out there, but in my opinion this program is, without a =
doubt, one of the better ones. Easy to use, nice interface, and after =
you set it up it works in the background never bugging you. It backs up =
files, folders, specific settings (like Outlook Express settings), your =
mail, and even has plugins to backup other software files you have =
installed (for example, plugins for different email programs). I think =
the plugins are mostly free, too.
At $49.95 for the Home Edition, I think it's a very good price. However, =
if you have a tight budget, there are several freeware ones available... =
none of which I have really used.

David....what are you recommending? Would a cloning program be of more=20
use? I back up all of my data and all of my software installation files=20
to a 40gB USB pocket drive. If I used CloneCD (not sure if this name=20
is correct), I could reformat my main drive and restore it in next to no =
time - is this is correct? This idea seems like the best option....if=20
it works!!
Opinions sought...TIA
