I have two drives, one with the os and used for all pc'ing. One for backup only.
Is the Windows 7 backup easy to set up and use ? Can I use it to make a full backup that can be used to install everything to a new disk if the original fails, ie like a clone. ??? Ta.

Thanks I am a long term user of Karens Replicator and Clone Zilla both excellent programs.
Was looking for input about 7's backup for use by someone not as geeky as me.

Dunno, I use Acronis True Image V11 and I recently backed up all four Windows OS's from my 4 machines (Win 98; XP; Vista & 7) plus a couple of Linux installs from the machine with the swap out disk caddies.
All to an external 500Gb SATA disk in a dock. It's always worked fine for me and I picked up the Acronis software FOC from some offer or other so I'm a happy bunny. Last restore I done was when I mistakenly installed a Linux distro over my Win XP  forgot to swap out the disk caddy before install, doh
