Any good freeware for backing up my HD?

[Riprorin]

Just got my 40 gig $49 Acomdata removable HD set up and am ready to start backing stuff up.

Is there any good, free software for doing backups?

Don't MS OS's have built in backup?

define "free software"

Legitimate freeware.

Do I actually need software or can I just copy my whole hard drive by doing drop and drag into the removable hard drive?

I cant see why not.

Just make sure you have an NTFS version of dos 6.22 in case.

I'd like to be able to find some software to make a single-CD system restore disk like OEM PCs come with. That'd be awesome.

plextor cdr drives used to come with an application that did that, called Res-Q i think, i don't know if they still provide it with their drives or not

looks like they still do

hmmm, looks like you have to go scsi though

CD Res-Q is no longer available for purchase. It still ships with our SCSI CD-RW drives.
