Re: Backing Up Windows...

Thanks Carey,

It appears you can backup to a network drive. Or I was thinking about
getting a external USB drive to make backups to as you suggested.

Hopefully, someone will suggest some third party will possibly suggest some
way of making a backup to a DVD.

Thanks again!
