I have an external USB 2.0 200 GB hard drive. Excellent for backups and
images of my hard drive. It has the additional advantage of only being
powered up when I back up or restore. That way it is normally protected
from virus invasion.

I use DriveImage 7.0. It has the capability to boot from the DI 7.0 CD and
access my USB drive if I am unable to boot to my internal hard drive. That
way I can restore the saved image to my hard drive if it is not completely
broken.
