System back ups

esmeralda · 01-18-2008, 10:16 AM

Hello
I take back ups regularly of work and programs I use a lot but this morning got a bit of scare, when the system failed to come up at all, I'd left a disquette in the PC - stupid! but it has made me think that maybe I should back up the whole PC once in a while.
I have the Windows CD but what about all the other stuff I have.
SHould I back each item individually on a CD or is there a program that would do it for me.
A freeware/shareware would be good as I don't have too much in the way of 'readies' - On the other hand its got to be something that works!!
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
