Hi Clive, Re: Backups........................

I've used Norton's "Ghost" software for some years now with success. I have a second hard drive installed in the box and "Ghost" the C drive to the second one on a weekly basis. All programs so copied will run, but might need re-registering and any passwords re-inititated. Data is immediately accessible.

Other than my own errors (trying to "Ghost" one last time, a drive that was starting to show failure mode) it's worked quite well and saved hours upon hours of re-installation and file conversion from "backup" format to useable.

There's probably a newer, more efficient way to do this today, but this method has worked well.

Best regards, Tom
