There are cheaper, but not efficient. Those "backup" programs
are pig slow, and nearly impossible to understand. Ghost or
PowerQuest DriveImage2001 works fine, and is fairly quick
depending on your cpu. My AMD64 3000+ does and image
at about 1 gig per minite. My old AMD Athlon 1800 did an
image at about 75 meg per minute .. not fast !
