Hi Clay,

I want to recommend DriveImage from Power Quest. I put it on during my last C:\format and it has made it much easier for me to maintain my computer.

My backup method has been basically to have two hard drives, and use the secondary for the backup files and the swap file. I used to use the Windows backup program but it was inadequate, although fine for partial or interim backups.

DriveImage really does the trick for me: it will fit on a boot floppy, and it transfers data at about 95-100 MB/min (Win95 P120). If I screw up the system somehow, it will overwrite my mess with the backup image as it restores (no reformatting necessary), and when I boot up, I've got the old machine back.
