Complete PC Backup and Restore
XP Pro included a system backup in the Pro version(s) but not Home.
However, since the backup program was stand alone, you could copy the backup program to a Home system and be good to go. Can this be done in Vista? I rummaging the web, but haven't found anything yet. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.8.5 Firefox 36.0.4 Thunderbird 31.5 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"

I generally use Seagate diskwizard or the Western Digital supplied free version of Acronis for my computers, depending on the brand of the internal computer drive or the external backup drive I will be using.

Thanks, Bob, but I need something that works for everything. The computer will be given away, and I have no idea if or even when there may be an external backup drive attached. It needs to be a program fit for the computer newbie/rookie. Looked at EaseUS Todo Backup Free, but I think it has a bug in the total overall plan. I need to do some checking and testing tonight. Also looked at Macrium Reflect Free, it's too complicated for a rookie. If you've got any ideas/thoughts for a simple and free option, I'd love to hear about it. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.8.5 Firefox 36.0.4 Thunderbird 31.5 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!"
