    Just wondering which software you guys/gals use to backup your systems.
    I think it's about time i made one but i never bothered making one before.
    Also.....Are there any free backup utilities worth their salt?.

    Ohh. One last thing. I remember unlocking the backup utility in XP on my desktop but it was no good because i don't have a dvd writer to burn the copy.
    Is it worth unlocking the facility on the laptop (with dvd/rw) to make a backup?.

    I'jve tried a few free backup programs and I haven't found any I like, I use Norton for what little backing up I do. I have Norton Ghost. It looks like a good program but I haven't used it yet. I want to redo windows before I set it up. Sorry I'm not much help, but I would like to know if there is any good free backup programs also!

    I just burn files to a CD, and keep them safe, I don't worry about my settings only takes a few minutes.

    Try that, never used it before though.

    I do not use any specific program although I have tried a couple. I usally burn everything and move it to a "burned" folder so I can keep track. Syncback is popular.

    I tried the one Tyler suggested but soon noticed i needed a 3.5" floppy drive. My laptop does not have one .
    I'll check out the one you suggested later S7 :wink:

    I'm quite a sad individual, really.

    I make images of my HD using 'Ghost', in case of emergencies, and backup all data to other partitions on my HD, CD's and an 80GB external HD.....

    I use pc relocator, Nero, Drive Image,....and a couple others. Just depends on what I am backing up and for who. I use Nero at work and on my stuff.

    I use CD's. I'm downloading SyncBack to try it out.

    I have backup programmes but truth is i do not use them..I have my slave dirve for everything and so if i need to repair i just do a fresh install it takes about 1 hour to do a clean install to putting software back that i need..

    :shock: One hour to put everything back? Obviously, I am not using the correct method...It takes me days to put everything in place.
