I just did a clean install of XP Home on my niece and nephews Dimension
4500. Now that everything is "nice and clean" I want to do a backup image
for when they eventually hose it again. I liked Tom Scale's post about
True Image doing a hidden restore image with an F key restore, but I doubt
their mother wants to spring for $30 to buy a copy. I know, I know...

Does the Free Trial do that too? And would it work after the Free Trial
expires?

I did a Full C drive backup to a new 250GB D drive using Nero BackitUp
that came with the new DVD burner, but it said there were system files in
use. Not very confident it would do an OS restore when needed.

I will probably buy a copy of TI myself for my home network, but don't
have $30 to spend every time I fix someone's computer.

Thanks, Pat


$30 at that I'd snap that up, its officially $50 as best I can see.
