Can someone recommenda a back-up program for the average user who has about 1 gig that needs backed up.

Do they make any programs that will allow back-up to a CD-R??

Thanks

Like Terry I use Retrospect from Dantz. I tried it for a month and purchased it soon there after. I have owned it for about 5 months and it is awesome. CDR, CD R/W - not a problem. I found it less then $50 on the net (retails for $50), and their support has been outstanding. The incremental backups are the best. The only quarky part is it was written for a Mac, and it still feels like it. Other than that, a GREAT program.

I finally got around to testing the fail-over of my second drive where Retrospect is saving my first drive's information. No OS. So I'll be trying to use DriveImage to create a second drive with the OS intact followed by Retrospect for the daily image back-up. If this works, it will be an awesome manual fail-over. With a couple of swapable slots and "cable select" for the IDE drives, a quick move of the drive and a reboot will be all that is needed for a full recovery!

BTW, I purchased the full copy...the product works great right now even though I don't have the OS part finished.
