You need an imaging tool such as DriveImage (PowerQuest)
or TrueImage (Acronis).

You have to be an absolute expert to do that. I have had so muchYou need an imaging tool such as DriveImage (PowerQuest)

downtime trying and using these monstrosities that you will not
believe it. I have had lot of images that just came up with a
'corrupt' message. I have an external in which I trusted all my
information of E: drive. Every time I tried to restore E: drive it
went belly up. CURE: Format the drive and input the data from the
external.
Do yourself a favour - stick to a MS backup and put that on your
external. Now I sleep at night. I cannot tell you which program I used
but it was one of them and I promised not to mention that name as I
got my money back. Best of luck if you do not take my advice. Just
because it is free it is not necessary that it is faulty - far from
it. I have never had trouble with MS Backup but unfortunately I was
curious and some gentlemen guaranteed that I should be much happier.

See below.

*** I don't.
*** Acronis TrueImage lets you test each image file on
*** the spot. Maybe the current version of DriveImage
*** has this facility too - I don't know.
*** That's fine, but you need to remind the OP that he needs
*** an operative version of Win2000 in order to restore an
*** ntbackup file. With TrueImage you can restore an image
*** with a boot CD that Acronis makes for you on the fly.
*** In other words, you can restore onto a blank hard disk.
*** Neither TrueImage nor DriveImage is free. Both are
*** nicely engineered products, and they cost a moderate
*** amount of money. Ghost is another imaging product.
*** I haven't used it but many people are impressed.
