Windows SD! equivalent?

[timlance]

My daughter has been forced to go to Windows. I use Windows in my work where everything critical is saved to redundant servers constantly and so am woefully ignorant in things Windows as regards the way the system(s) operate. Whhich brings me to wondering is there a SuperDuper! equivalent? Especially along the lines of SmartUpdate functioning?

Thank you for such a wonderful application.

Not really, Tim, no. But, you could try to use something like Acronis DriveImage or Norton Ghost...

you best get busy!

Boy, do I wish ...

As does she. She's the one that turned me onto SD! about a year ago.

Thanks for the suggestions.

For backups on Windows, I use the free version of SyncBack. It doesn't create a bootable clone, but it does a good job backing up files. I've been real happy with it.

Thanks. I'll pass it along as well. Thankfully, she doesn't have the time to be a power-user. Between her law school's tech folk and living by her 1 GB flash drive she will probably survive..

in Windows XP Professional (not in home edition) there is an application included which can make incremental backups (=Smart update)
The interface and user frendliness is baad, but it does the work.

Start menu -> al applications -> utilities -> system utilities -> backup
(I'm not sure about the exact names in the path, I use swedish systems, so I don't know the english equivalence)
