TavyCal -

I am surprised Bruce didn't mention the image program he is using as fastest and safest restore operation. I personally use Acronis True Image 11 and are extremely happy with it. I store the image on the internal HDD and then copy it to an external HDD for safe keeping. Internal I only do for speed purposes as it's faster than to external drive directly. In case of computer crash, virus infection, etc. you just restore the last healthy image and you're right back to where you were.

I also use it for installation of programs, make an image before install, if I then don't like the program I just revert back to previous image and the program is completely gone, no traces. True Image actually has a particular function for this as well which I have not used yet.

Cheers
