One good thing about keeping images on a drive that can be turned off is this: I once installed a new C: drive and had images stored on another secondary hard drive, the drives were the same size. I installed the new drive and formatted it from my boot disk. Oops I was horrified that I just formatted my drive that held my images and other backed up data. (Had CDR's also I was lucky) Since I was rebuilding C: anyways, it was not an issue (I did loose some data), but these stupid mistakes can happen, that’s why I always turn off my backup drive. To protect it from me <g>

Hi thecow, Thanks for the information. One more question. I went to Acronis' web site and looked at the Image Program. I see that you can schedule backup of data files. Can you backup the data files to the same drive that you used to image the C drive? That is, can you have one drive that contains the imaged and scheduled backup files? Ok, so that's two questions. I'll ask two more question...why did you pick Acronis over the other imaging programs; ie, Ghost. What do you think of using a Maxtor One Touch drive as the imaged drive? It uses a USB 2 port.
