Author Backup Question

Hello,

I am starting to get serious about backing up my data, since I now use my PC
for business purposes. I used Ntbackup, but I truly disliked it, so I
backup up rarely. Then I used SyncToy, which is fine, I think, but it
crashed a few times, and it often complain about long file names, so I do
not trust it very well. I read some of the threads in this newsgroup, and
it seems that Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image are good choices for me.
Both packages do an image of the drive, which is something I will do. I
also want to backup everything under 'documents and settings' incrementally,
so that old and new versions of the same file can be retrieved. Can these
programs do that?

I use Acronis. It will do what you need.
