I recommend you do the backup to external media, such as an external eSata or USB connected drive. Backing up to a second internal drive leaves you open to loss of both drives in a system event. Complete PC Backup which comes with Vista Business does imaging. It will not compress when backing up to another hard drive Acronis True Image Home version 10 works in Vista. Compression ratio depends on the nature of the data, some is more compressible than others. Getting a 2:1 compression ratio for files that are compressible is pretty good, usually it's less than that. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |
