Boyyyyyyyyy that is a mouthfull...or a mind full. OK...what is SIMPLE to use? I don't have business files to back up or any personal info..I don't keep such stuff on computer. I store it on cd... Only thing I really need to keep is graphic files for drawings and downloaded purchased formats for my embroidery machine. Which of all THAT you talked about would be worth using for what I have???

I quit using it when Norton/Symantec bought it I found it inconvenient to= use as it was constantly using memory to backup things as I was using the= computer. That was back when I was using Win 98SE with an MMX 200 with 128 meg of= ram. It works in the background monitoring changes you make to to documents,= programs, and settings. If something goes wrong you can Go Back with a mouse click. System Restore only makes an automatic backup point once a day unless you= remember to make them more often. Deep Freeze offer a program that will freeze the system state and restore= it back to that point each time you reboot. It is used in many libraries and internet cafe's. In Canada a singe use licence is $39.95/29.95 US Take a look at this free program; http://www.alistairgeorge.com/b4win/ Back4Win=A9 Backup Software Easy to use Backup program with many features including backup disk= spanning to CDR(WinXP) and CDRW.
