HOW? Backup System (C:) to External Drive?

I have vista home premium and a new Laptop.
I need to make System Backups (complete drive c
I realize that Toshiba put so much junk software on my new laptop but could
not see it's way to include a System Backup.
Would appreciate your replys on the above subject and recommentations for a
Backup/Restore that works. I have spent so much time cleaning up the laptop
that i would not like to have to start at the beginning. Thanks.

I've read good things about a commercial backup utility. I believe you
can download an evaluation version to make sure it fits your needs.

You can download it here: 'Backup software for data backup and disaster
recovery in Windows and Linux - Acronis' (http://www.acronis.com)

It does a complete image of your C drive, so in the event of a major
failure, you can restore everything the way it was when you did the
backup/image.

Let us know if that works for you.

I see they have a new release v11. , do you know which of the releases is
regarded as the most stable?
I think that i will purchase but first i need to check who their parent
company is.

1.Make sure System Restore is enabled (it usually is by default).

2.Follow the documentation that came with your laptop for creating System
Recovery disks.

Everything that i read states that my Vista Version does not have the
software program to backup/restore my complete C: drive. The Vista only
backs up files, etc.
I have ordered the Acronis Backup/Restore program and it is on the UPS truck
as I type.
Thanks
