<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Mindy,<BR><BR>I use Acronis TrueImage
9.1. It's really easy to use and has a lot of features. It can do an
image of the hard drive and also will backup specific files/folders. The
latter is good on staff machines that don't regularly need an entire image
backup. Either way, you have options. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Backups can be scheduled ahead of time and will
backup to another partition, drive, across the network, to removable
drives, etc. I have it set up so that the staff computers turn themselves
on periodically (BIOS setting), TrueImage then kicks in and makes a
backup. When complete, TrueImage sends me an email to let me know if there
were any problems and if the backup was successful. When it's done, I have
the computers shut themselves off (</FONT><A

face=Arial>PsShutdown</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial>, formerly by
SysInternals...now by Microsoft.) All in all, my backup routine
happens in the middle of the night and TrueImage requires user intervention only
when a problem occurs.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I couldn't ask for a more care-free backup
plan.</FONT></P>

any imaging software recommendations beyond Norton Ghost? I have about 20
