    What is the best PC backup software?

    I want to be prepared in case my hard drive completely dies, so I want to backup all the data on my laptop.

    Got any software reccomendations?
    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

              Here's a question: If my hardrive is currently filled with 24GB of data, and I create an image backup using some backup software, how big will the image file the software creates be? Will the image also be 24GB?

                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                    buying a new computer and putting the other one in remote storage.

                    better yet,

                    distribute files that must be backed up onto p2p. that is the best why to preserve data

                    *edit* in theory

                      Depends on what kind of data you have on your drive, but between 12GB-24GB.

                          I was wondering that too. What if you go to do the recover process and it just returns some error - file corrupted or something?
