Easy Back Up of Windows

[Briguy]

Is there a free program out there that would be easy to back up your entire drive contents? And if need be restore it onto another hard drive?

You could always just make a ghost copy of your hard drive with something like Norton Ghost.

But if you'd like a compressed backup file, Windows has a built-in backup (sometimes you have to install it manually) and you can set it to back up such and such a file at such and such a time.

Which reminds me - I gotta set up the e-mail backup and documents backup.

I recently came across a free imaging program. It looks pretty good, I haven't played with it much though.

Does Norton allow you to download that program even older versions? I use to get those cd's free from motherboard extras.

You reminded me of an old site called OldVersion.com so that was the first place I looked and I found it! (It's only a trial though)
