There are numerous solutions available (M$ Windows even has a crappy built in one called xcopy32, don't even think about it) but most of us use Ghost because it is simple (like me), easy to use (like me) and works well (like the missus). It comes free when you buy a new Soyo mobo or I think you can get a trial version off the internet if you search around a bit.

Ghost is sweet. You can use Ghost Explorer after you image your drive to extract any files you need. I just burn the .gho file to a CD. If I need to re-image my rig, it only takes 10 minutes.

Another vote for Ghost, gotta be the best backup program going! And as someone said above, with Ghost Explorer, it makes it easy to add or subtract stuff from the image. Ghost saved my a** many times, now whenever I want to install anything, I ghost my C:\ 1st, that way I can get back to normal in 10 mins.

Does anybody knows/wants how to make automatic resucue discs with ghost? if some body could figure out a command template/bat, it would be a great help for us system builders out there. No more frequent trip to idiot clients house because they mess up.
here you go...
