Jeff, it's free with Tutorial on YouTube. What's not to like.

I backup my XP PC to an external USB drive using Acronis True Image
software and it works great. I've restored even the C: partition more than
once and it has worked flawlessly.

A friend decided she too wished to start backing up her system and I
advised buying an external USB HD - which she did. Now she is asking
about backup software. She is not anxious to lay out more money so I
looked around for free options and found something called "DriveImage XML"
( http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm ) and watched its tutorial on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTEnKA7tOXM

As far as I can see it seems to be very similar to my Acronis True Image
and I am considering recommending it to her. Does anyone know how it
compares to the Acronis software? Is it as reliable? Does it compress as
efficiently? etc.?
