    Best OS Backup?

    I format around once a month and was wondering what the best software and if it's reccomended to do it.

    What I'm looking to achive is formating a fresh xp with all my drivers and apps installed and then somehow making a image or copy of this install so next time I want to format it's all there ready.

    Norton ghost is probably the most common one used.

    Acronis True image is also gaining popularity

    When it works, it works great. When it go's wrong though, its a true bugger to sort.
    My problem with it was fairly technical and obscure, but still.

    On the free side of things, check out the UBCD (ultimate boot CD) at http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/
    It has a few cloning tools on there that i use. They dont have pretty interfaces, but they get the job done just as well, and as fast as the other ones in my experience.
    They are entirely pre-OS to, so you just boot of the CD and away you go !
