Hi Dave, Image For Windows, an imaging program from Terabyte Unlimited works great. It's jaws friendly too, which is good. You can do either a full or partial backup, and can back up either to another drive or burn direct to DVD. It's cheap too, only 28 quid. The link is http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-windows.htm Good Luck, John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave" <dave.mehler@gmail.com> To: "'Blind sysadmins list'" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 9:48 PM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] backing up a running system

Hello, I've got a laptop running xp pro that i have to redo. It's that time. I've got an external terrabyte drive to back it up to. My problem is a product like ghost won't work as the drive is formatted NTFS and won't be read from the ghost CD. I need a product that works from a running windows or can reboot then work, and get all my files, i'll need also file selective restore. Thanks. Dave.
