Windows XP and backup utility

Recommended Posts

I have been using the backup utility and recently backed up all data on my system, to the sum of about 38 GBs or so.

 

My question, if for some reason my system crashes or I need to reinstall will this be an image of my system as it stands now?

 

Will the backup recover my whole system to the state it is in now with all the drivers and settings and such?

 

 

Thanks

The following helped me out a few times when the system crashed

I have several partitions

one for the operating system

one on which I install my programs

one for documents, swap, internet files, backup and so on

Then I make an image (backup) of my c: partition (with the OS on it)

When the system crashes, I only have to restore that image and everything will work fine again !

The program I use is Symantec ghost or Powerquest Drive Image

No single disk

On my main PC 2 disks, 80 and 60 gig, devided in several partitions

On the 2nd pc one HD 40 gig

I always make a copy of my image to the second PC, to be a little save !
