Hey Harold,
I know I am NOT GMan, but something in your email made me jump in here.
I do not think a typical thumb drive/flash drive big enough to hold the
image of your C:
I have a new machine and I know Windows Vista is bigger than XP, but my
Image file is bigger than any thumb drive I have seen.
I use an external hard drive. They are pretty cheap.
Vista Ultimate has a Backup Image program included and I use that now and I
back up to an external drive weekly.
I know that GMan & others had spoken about Acronis True Image in the past.
I had already bought Norton Save & Restore. That program would not do the
backups I wanted to do. (Luckily I got it for $10 after rebates and I
already got my rebates)
I almost bought that until I found out Vista Ultimate had this built in
already.
If you end up wanting Acronis True Image 10.0, I have a link to buy it
cheaper than than the Acronis website.
\http://www.ugr.com/
It was $29. to download and $33 + shipping for the CD version.
So, depending upon what GMan tells you...this may help....
Have a grand day. I am always happy to hear people actually wanting to and
then DOING backups... :)
