I've been meaning to set up some kind of backup for my PC for a while, and the computer's recent brush with death has obviously focused my mind a bit.
Really I want something that will let me restore the whole system to a new PC (so that I have the choice to just dump the old one, rather than pay for a repair, but not have to re-install everything).
I remember that some of the IT guys where I used to work used Norton Ghost, but I have heard that it "isn't as good as it used to be".
Also, when using Ghost, if they put it back onto a different PC they used to have to fix the drivers (but, I guess will always be the case, unless the hardware is identical).
What do you guys reckon I should use? Just NTbackup, or should I invest in something else?
Would be good if there was something that could do one big initial backup and then just backup incremental changes to the system (not just the data), not sure if that is possible.
EDIT: Oh, BTW, I'm running XP
