Can someone recommend the *best* way of backing up a system?
From a previous post I made, I had the following recommendations:

need the .net framework, else it would not work.
Installed .net framework: still would not wokr.

What I need is to backup my own system, but also to sell PC systems
with the original system backed up. (So that I can qucikly restore
when the client screws it up a couple of months later!)

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Imaging/Cloning software is ideal. There are various from different
companies. I use PowerQuest DriveImage and find it works well.

I've only used Acronis True Image and can't speak to the others but True
Image works just fine. I make a clone of my main drive every month and an
image of it every week or so.

Why does nobody mention the good (and free) xxcopy. Another thing
to consider is ARJ, which will also compress on the fly and verify
the i/o. Google for them.

I've got all of those. On second thought, you're right.
