Vince, have you personally restored your image from an external source using
the software you describe, in which case how does it work? Does the software
have a reboot and restore option? If not, how do you access the external drive
at boot time without sight to tell the software where to find the backup and
where to install it to.
John.

Andry, if you can stretch to an external drive, this will give you a bit of
extra security - belt and braces, you know.
The one I have, by Verbatim, came equipped with backup software that can back
up the Windows system as well as your own work. The software by Nero is easy
enough to use, and worked fine with the screen reader.
When you're not handling backups, you can have the external drive stored away
from your computer, so that if some disaster strikes, you'll still have
something to get you going again.

Andy, if you don't have sight, although backing up to an external source is
easy enough, using something like Image for Windows you wouldn't be able to
restore without sighted help. If, however you back up to DVD using Image for
Windows you can restore without sighted assistance.
Backing up to your C drive is all very well till you pick up a bug and
have to format and your backup is wiped along with everything else, or you run
out of space, which was the point you made in your post.
