Hi.............

I manage a web site and need to back up my computer frequently. I originally used a zip drive for this, then CD's and now I use a SanDisk flash drive.

It is time consuming and of course only backs up the files/folders directed to.

The Windows Home Server offers a great alternative - but I don't have a network (only one computer), and it's about $600 (plus another drive if you want redundancy)

Are there any other options that would:

1 - allow me to do automatic back ups (ie; daily or whatever)
2 - would back up everything so if my computer died an instant death, I could put the back up info. on another computer/drive and not have to reinstall any programs ("everything would be there")?
3 - be smart enough to only back up the things that changed from previous back ups - otherwise it would take forever

I also really like the idea behind the Windows Home Server that allows you to access your computer from any remote internet connection - but this is an extra if available - not something I need.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!!

Will Norton Ghost work for you? This is the website with description of the product:

It is easy to use if that is what you are looking for, plus it is inexpensive. Here is a link to get it at a more reasonable price:

Thanks I'll look into it!
