bombs... anybody know of something that works?

DFSee will do compressed drive images and/or partition images. It will also save/restore partition info so you can re-create your system from scratch should it ever be necessary.


(You 'doze users would know more about that than me since I have used OS/2-eCS for years and only once managed to blow away a partition.)

DFSee won't write DVDs (yet) but you could run it from a bootable CD and store the compressed image(s) on your HD then write them to DVDs later. He allows you to set max file size so you can back up to multiple disks be they CDs or DVDs.
