| Here is the strategy I use to backup my computer.
On a fairly new Windows setup I use Acronis True Image to do a one off
backup the hard disk image containing Windows, programs and registry etc.
I then use AJC Directory Synchronizer on a daily basis to synchronize work
files to a USB hard disk and another computer. This is a very user
friendly, powerful program letting you review and change the list of files
to be synchronized before the job is done. It now also optionally lets you
archive files that will get deleted or overwritten during the sync to a
built in revision control system letting you undo if you sync over a file by
mistake.

While I am working I always have AJC Active Backup running which
automatically archives off a copy of a file every time I save it into a very
compact revision control system. This means if ever I make a mistake,
corrupt a file or just wonder what I have changed all I need to do is right
click on the status bar icon do extract an earlier version of the file or
see a diff of what has been changed.

AJC Active Backup is completely automatic and requires no regular attention
once the initial setup wizard has been filled in. It operates in the
background via a subtle indicator in the Windows status bar with hardly any
noticeable change to the computer's performance.
The backup archives created are very compact because compression is used and
only the changes to each file are stored each time a new revision is added.
An automatic purge feature is included to stop the archives from growing too
large.

The best folder synchronize and directory compare tool available.
AJC Active Backup instantly archives every file you edit giving you
unlimited undo and automatic revision control. Never lose your data again.

(http://www.gocyberlink.com/multi/pr...n.jsp?ProdId=33) has a
sale on their 11 program suite right now for $99. I like the way their
"Data" program automatically splits data across disks and handles dual layer
disks.

| Sorry, I forgot to say Ghost to an external drive first, but to be extra
sure I backup the external drive to multiple dual layer DVDs and take the
DVDs off site.
