Thanks... I have installed NTBackup, and used it to backup my data once.
  I had tried to back up my system and found out I couldn't, so I just
copied the data to go through the process once.

it would work on NTBackup? Hate to be so dense, but I want to get it
right... until I can get an easy method for full backups. :)
