Backup Solution

[Nazbit]

Hi,

I'm setting up a new desktop with 2 x 160gb hard drives in RAID 1. I also have a Netgear NAS with a 160gb disk in it.

I am looking for a way of creating a full and bootable copy of the entire windows installation and all programs, files and folders on to the NAS drive.

So basically if the drives in the desktop were killed by psu failure or something, I would want to be able to slot a new drive in, and restore everything from the NAS and have everything immediately back to how it was before the failure without any extra work.

Can anybody suggest the best way of doing this?

Thanks

Acronis True Image is a good backup tool, you can backup full partitions or patial folders/files and the compression is good, and in my experiences its really quick.

clonezilla gets good mentions, and it's free, give that a whirl
