I agree with you but it is not free, is it?
You must decide for yourself whether an application that costs money, but
works quite well, is
more useful than one which is free but is full of pitfalls. and quirks.

Once you have the whole HD backed up with ntbakup ...how do you

Would it not be simpler to use a Specific imaging or Cloning program
for that purpose???
There are a few on the market but I like Acronis True Image.It has the
capabilities of creating a Startup CD which can restore without an
Operating System....it can clone the whole HD to another ...it can
image a specific partition of the HD to another HD....it can perform
backup tasks on schedule.

As Windows XP home has FAT32 file system and gives the file limitation
no larger than 4g, is there any way that I can back up the whole hard
drive more than 4 gig? In other words, is there anyway to work around
this file limitation?

Any response will be greatly appreciated!!!



I would like to back up the whole drive to an external hard drive. If
the system crashes, I can reinstall the O/S, connect to the external
hard drive, and then restore the rest from the backup. It is very
simple. Thank you for your response and information. I appreciate it.
