I bought a dell laptop a year ago, and I reinstalled the Windows XP
system a few weeks before. Now I prepare to back up my system so that I
do not need to take troubles to reinstall all the device drivers when I
want to recover the system to a previous date.
My first Question is: I know that Ghost and Acronis can do that,
however, dell has defined about 3.5G of hard disk space for system
recovery, and I know it can help to restore the system to the original
state, I wonder can it allow us to back up the system at any time? Such
as after I install some software, so that when I restore the system, I
do not need to reinstall those softwares? I have formatted the space
dell has defined as system back up and used it as my C drive in the new
installation, maybe that is a bad move : )
My Second Question is: The Windows XP has the function of system
recovery itself, such as we can recover the system to a previous date,
I wonder what is the advantage of Ghost or Ancronis over the system
restore of Windows XP and the backup and restore of Dell?
Thanks a lot for your help!
