It makes a bootable clone of your hard drive, including your applications, data, and user settings. It is by far the most JAWS friendly backup utility I have ever used. Here is a link to the company's web site: http://www.fssdev.com/ Best regards, Alan Roger wrote: Hi List, I am looking for a hard disk backup program that is Jaws friendly and fairly easy to use. A low cost program or suite of programs is okay. I also would like to know which type of backup is recommended, either image or clone. A friend suggested to check out the Acronis backup program , but I don't know if it is Jaws friendly. I would appreciate any help from the List members.
