Default Back up software?

I need to do a back up of my whole system, just not sure what to use?

Any ideas will be great!

Norton Ghost would be your best bet.... it allows you to backup your entire HD(or multiple HDs) across several DVDs.

You can also make a Floppy or bootable CD to use in case your HD is no longer bootable.

It's about 40 quid, unless you get it off p2p.

depends how much "stuff" you have on your HD.

Normal computer can be backed up onto probably one DVD.

I have 3 HDs totalling 580gig (not quite full yet ) so i just back up the important stuff.

Norton Ghost the thing onto a seperate HD (not a partiton) or DVD's if you like.
As above make the first dvd bootable just in case your HD has totally died.
