I use Acronis True Image on my XP Pro machine. Everything else I use
the free System Rescue CD which is a lean bootable version of Linux that
can backup drives (it can also backup NTFS drives). However the latter
is still fairly geeky. I just wrote the instructions on my CD to
refresh my mind how it works. I backup to a 500 GB Buffalo external drive.
