EzBackup Software

EzBackup is drive to drive image backup software. The image backup includes your boot partition, operating system, settings and application preferences. Offers automatic and manual backups. You choose the files to add to the image (or clone) drive. Multiple dated backup copies can be kept. Restore deleted files.

Requires 512 MB RAM, 512 MB hard disk space. Runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 2000. Requires a dedicated hard drive with equal or greater capicity than the drive you want to mirror/copy/backup. Any USB or Firewire external drive or eSATA or a second internal drive will do.

"The negative is that is requires a dedicated hard drive but that opens the doors to be able to restore a boot drive and not have to worry about reinstalling Windows and all your programs, settings and data files. Can do as many as eight auto-backups a day. Great solution for drive cloning software."
