Hi DJ ,
I don't know which program was under discussion, but I currently use
drive snapshot.
http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/
another is image for windows, don't have the address, but terabyte
software is the author.
Both programs will backup a running windows system you can create a
dos restore disk, and if you have a old-fashioned synth with screen
reader support, say vocal eyes from GW Micro, or an early version of
ASAP or Hal, you can manage your disaster restore requirements.
Both programs are more accessible than say norton ghost because
neither use a bitmap display under dos.
What you could do of course, is backup to say a second partition, or
a group of cd's, and restore to an external drive, then and if your
drive pops, you can slide in the drive holding the restore.
I'm no expert though, so you might like to garner ideas from this and
other lists. If my pc gets hosed, I can be up and running within
however long it takes to screw in a replacement drive, or slot in 1
in a removable bay. I think that the terabyte image program offers
usb support under its dos boot disk as well.
good luck
Joe Paton.
