I do it all the time!
I use a 500 gig Seagate drive in an Adaptec USB external drive housing. It has an external power supply. I have had problems with some of the smaller external drives that get their power from the USB port directly. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Lonestar" wrote in message ...

Thanks Richard, and all the others, for your replies.
I guess I'm taking this route, now that I see others have had success. I was thinking "internal" drive, but why bother if an external one works well for cloning and restoring drive images.

Using an extra internal drive will result in faster backupsm (and restores), but an external drive is better because it can be disconnected when not in use, making your backups a tad safer.

X2, I never recommend using a second internal drive for backup, always an
external, and always keep it disconnected when not performing a backup or restore operation. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Help Us Help You http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "Paul Montgomery" wrote in message ...

In case you're serious: it lessens the chance of losing it if something - like a power surge - damages the machine and somehow might damage connected devices as well.
