My backup. I use Acronis to image my hard drive to a second hard drive which contains nothing but full images (no incremental for me either) of various stages of building the overall system the way I like it. I have had XP since the introduction so I also slipstreamed Windows XP and SP2 and wrote it to a disk. This way, if I have a complete disaster I can avoid the pain in the rear of downloading SP2 and going through all the necessary reboots when reinstalling XP. After the initial install and critical updates I imaged the drive and burned it to dvd. If I have a real problem at least I can use Acronis to get back up and running with a clean/updated OS. I also burn my critical data to dvd's for storage. I have had problems with bad installs and tweaking my system (lol..that has been most of my problems) and so far, worst case scenario has been 20 minutes to back up and running. I don't trade much anymore but it is imperative to a trader to get back up and going as soon as possible.
