Image Backup utility

I backup my XP PC to an external USB drive using Acronis True Image
software and it works great. I've restored even the C: partition more
than once and it has worked flawlessly.

A friend decided she too wished to start backing up her system and I
advised buying an external USB HD - which she did. Now she is asking
about backup software. She is not anxious to lay out more money so I
looked around for free options and found something called "DriveImage
XML" ( http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm ) and watched its tutorial on

As far as I can see it seems to be very similar to my Acronis True Image
and I am considering recommending it to her. Does anyone know how it
compares to the Acronis software? Is it as reliable? Does it compress
as efficiently? etc.?

ethics aside :) why don't you just give her a copy of your true image and
tell her not to register it?
