Good backup program?

Question

What are some good backup programs for making an exact copy of your hard drive in case of a "disaster"

Do they work?

How much do they cost?

Answer 1

I second Mr P's suggestion.  Acronis True Image is a great program.  It creates an exact image of your harddrive so that in the event of a failure, you can restore it just like it was.  They also offer an optional "universal restore" feature that allows you to restore your computer onto a completely different PC...even if the other PC isn't the same hardware as what you had.  www.acronis.com for more info and prices.

Answer 2

I use Acronis True Image 11 Home, it allows you to create an exact image of your disk that is bootable, so in the event of a disaster all you do is simply boot from the dvd and within minutes you're back up and running like nothing happened!
