I want to backup my entire C drive, OS and ALL the files on that drive. I
don't believe that the backup utility in Vista backs up the operating system
and ALL files. c Can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish
this.

Thanks

I believe that the Complete PC Backup is only available in Vista
Business/Ultimate. I really like Acronis True Image - you can create images
of your partition/drive and also do incremental backups. Store the images
on an external hard drive for easy restoration of your system in an
emergency.

For making a clone (a directly bootable copy, not an image file that has
to be "restored" before it can be booted) of the entire drive or just single
partitions, Casper 4.0 is tops. It specializes in making clones, and it can
update a clone incrementally. Furthermore, with Casper 4.0, the "parent"
OS doesn't have to be made invisible to the clone when the clone is started
up for its first run. See www.FSSDev.com/products/casper .
