re: backups

In my view, Ghost was the best software purchase of my life:

symantec.com

I now keep 2 alternating backup hard drives - each exact duplicates (or mirrors) of my "C" hard drive, including the operating system...

If I pick up a virus, or if I screw up my configuration, I have back up mirror images of my drive... if in a hurry, I can simply swap drives...

It's never failed, and I've reverted to a ghosted version more times than I can count...

note: NEVER simultaneously connect and power up 2 drives, both with operating systems installed, unless running Ghost
