I have had nothing but traumatic problems with Ghost when I upgraded to the
next year's version and appeared to lose everything twice. I won't let
Ghost on my machine again.

Sigstroker,
Norton Ghost is a good choice for full-image backups and restoring to a
larger drive. Partition Magic and Paragon Software provide drive-cloning to
different size drives as well.
For ongoing day-to-day backup performance, drive mirroring is best - simply
install a second drive and enable the mirroring capabilities in Windows and
you have a hot back-up. If the master fails, you shut down, swap the drives
and you're up and running in minutes.
Hope this helps...

Subject: looking for disk copy/clone software
I'm looking for a piece of software to do a bit-for-bit copy from one disk
to another. I don't want "backup" software that compresses using the
vendor's proprietary algorithm so that you need to use the software to
"restore". I have two things I want to do:
1) My C drive is filling up. I want to copy it to a larger drive and swap
them out.
2) I want to make periodic copies of my C drive to drives in removable
drawers for backup. If the C drive in the pc takes a dump, I want to just
pull the most recent backup out of it's drawer and swap it into the pc.
Obviously neither of the above will work if the copy/clone is compressed
with some weird algorithm. I bought Drive Image, but it appears to only make
the kind of backup I don't want. I would assume the software I need would
have to run in DOS off a bootable floppy. So far, everything I've looked at
seems to run in Windows.
