That's terriable back- up for a system! to get an entire back -up including your OS go to (if you have windows) back- up exe and go to full back- up. For best results. This ensures that you can be secure in case of a hard drive failure!

There are a few programs like ghost. Ghost is fine if you like it and know how to use it. See Acronis, G4U and almost any linux with rsync or dd.

Ntbackup should be part of your recovery and daily backup plan.

It has some features that no other's can copy exactly. It allows more easy hardware changes.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
