Freeware, shareware, or professional grade software is all ok (it's for an office where I work part time, and we have a budget for this kind of stuff). All I really need to do is mirror the hard drives of several computers to connected external drives, on a nightly basis. Thanks in advance for any tips, I really appreciate it!  | ||

This isn't a large-scale operation, just a few PCs in one particular office. So I'm more looking for things that your average savvy PC user would use to back up his HD than corporate-scale backup solutions. Thanks for the tips, I'll check them out! One more thing - I'm considering going with an online backup service like Mozy ( http://mozy.com/ )...do you guys have experience with / recommend any such service? | ||

Just so you know, I am dual booting Mac + PC, but I never thought I would need more than 15 GB for the PC side. My reasoning was I would only play SC, and use some other rudimentary programs. Then I decided to install some software, download Steam + a few games, Camtasia, etc. and before I knew it, I ran out of space. Seeing as the partition is set in stone, I'd have to completely remove the partition, and recreate one, most likely with 30-40 GB set aside . Now here is the issue: I am looking for backup software, but I am questioning a specific part of how XP backups work. What I want is to back up the entire operating system files, meaning when I have a blank copy of XP, I want to be able to simply "restore" the past partition and everything goes back to normal, just as I was using it. I want this primarily because I don't want to re-download everything, or find downloads. It just takes too much time. Note: I don't have any sensitive information, I just want the applications (Antivirus, programs, games) to be restored back onto the fresh copy of XP, pre-installed. Is there anyone that can either explain the characteristics of how XP back ups and restores, or anyone that knows of a program that will do what I request? | ||
