Hi,

I have built my home Vista PC which is now running as required with all the
software I need. For speed of future restores (If eveer required!) how can I
best take an image of the system?

Thanks.

What version if Vista are you running? If you are using Vista Business,
Enterprise or Ultimate, it includes a utility to create a complete PC image
backup. See
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ca11e84f-fce6-4e3e-82ef-467870bb6baf1033.mspx
for more info on that.

If you are using a version of Vista that does not include the ability to
create a complete image based backup, I look the Image utilities available
at http://www.bootitng.com.
 
Thanks Tom, I will check them out.

Simon.
