However, I've heard that ghoast won't restore something like an authorization key. Am I incorrect about that point? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <joseph.lee22590@xxxxxxxxx>

Sean,
This is when Ghost and other disk cloning software plays an important role.
If you've encountered a system crash (assuming that it is not the hardware),
you can restore your system to the previously working state and start from
scratch.
Cheers,
Joseph

My point exactly.  If I backup other windows software, I can fully restore
my system from that backup.  If I backup jaws, I cannot fully fully restore
it from my backup.  This seems to violate fair use to me.

Hi,

You most likely can backup your JAWS cd or ILM cd just like you can
backup
an Office or XP cd but this doesn't effect the ILM key on the pc.
There
is
a way to backup the ILM key but once you make a hardware change it
really
doesn't matter since your locking code will have changed making the
key void.

hmm..  Just a thought, does the authorization scheme of fs and soon,
vista,
violate the concept of fair use?  I'm not a legal person, but just
wondering.
For example, if you've ever read a user lisence aggreement for MS Word
it
says
that you can make one backup coppy for personal use.  We can't
effectibely
do
this with Jaws.
