I don't know about your issue, but I have been using Ghost for years and love it. I am currently using 12.0, but I have 14.0 and have not installed it yet.
I think the WinZip suggestion is good if you only need to back up data. If you want to be able to restore your system easily in case of an HD crash or some sort of infection, then I would go with Ghost or Acronis myself.

The problem with Ghost was even when I gave it the administrator pw it would not take it. It would then say some thing to the effect of, can't have 2 people logged in at the same time, even though I was the only one "logged" in. Weird. Though I did see some people having the same problems that I am having. Will let you all know. PS While I know how to use PKZip, writing a batch file is beyond me. lol > Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:15:17 -0700 > To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [H] automated back up software > > > Just about any backup program will do what you want.
