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

True Image is way under-priced for the time it WILL SAVE you. As back-up's go, you can't beat it. It saves your data AND your OS.
