[Wolfman]

does anyone use back up software at all. and have any suggestions?

I'm not overly familiar with backup software, but I think Norton Ghost can do what you are looking for. There may be other free open source alternatives out there as well, Ghost isn't too too expensive, that is if you actually buy it.

I norton ghosted for a while. Backing up a whole drive is a pain. I back up only what's necessary and burn them to dvd. No need for the other crap. Waste of time.

haha, if you noticed you can save practically a boot disk/registry save on a floppy by right clicking your hard drive clicking tools then backup now.

Also dvd works but I prefer a secondary hard disk...just easier as storage
