Stewart,
You've seen the answers from Rick & Dave but there is another option
that I use but does require a bit of work. I have a spare Hard drive
that I have two partitions on. I keep by backup images on partition
2On partition 1 I keep a copy of my OS, basic programs, and Image for
Windows. If my C drive ever becomes corrupt or whatever, all I do is
pop the side cover off my computer and then unplug my C drive and hook
it up to the spare drive. Machine boots right up and runs fine. Then I
take a USB bridge adapter (think that is what the little rascal is
called) and hook it up to my C drive and then plug it into a USB port.
I then run the Image for windows program and select whatever image I
want to put back on the C Drive . When process is complete, simply
shut down and put everything back as normal and you are good to go. A
bit complicated but a doable option if you don't want to use DVD's

Is it possible to make the image on a USB Pen drive and make that
bootable, to restore the image?

Did the same here yesterday, only I used double-sided disks instead.

Simple really, I used maximum compression from with in the program
itself.
It offers several options from no compression at all, as such creating
the
image quite quickly to the max which is much slower. I used two single
sided
DVDs available at your local electronic store.
Note the version I used when I created tutorial one can't perform this
trick. That was 2.03 if memory serves. They are up to around 2.73 by
now. I
have been receiving free upgrades for over 4.5 years now.

You claim that you were able to squeeze 29 gb of data onto two DVD's.
How
did you accomplish this amazing feat? A standard single-layer,
single-sided
DVD can store approximately 4.7 gb of data, while a single-layer,
double-sided DVD can store 9.4 gb of data. So assuming you used two
single-layer, double-sided DVD's, you could only store a total of
about 19
gb of data. Did you use some hard-to-find double-layer, double-sided
DVD's,
which can hold about 18.5 gb each? Or did you perhaps use blue ray
disks,
which have a much higher storage capacity than standard DVD's, but are
much
more expensive and thus not really practical for frequent image
backups? Or
is there some magical technique for cramming more data onto a DVD than
it
can physically store? Just curious.

If memory serves I did the first tutorial almost four and a half
years
ago.
The program has changed slightly with some new features but it is
still
completely usable with a screen reader.
I like using maximum compression for my images. They take a bit
longer but
it minimizes the amount of DVDs you end up using. I just did an
image the
other day and 29 GB fit on two disks, now that's an improvement.

This 3 part tutorial shows how to create an image and restore it
using
speech the whole way from start to finish
Hope this helps. Take care.
