System Restore

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Sounds like you're confusing system restore with backing up. The two are
very different. Restore points were not intended to be stored outside the
system partition.

Norton Ghost is an example of disc imaging software. Other popular imaging
programs include Acronis' True Image and Terabyte's Image for Windows. There
are very many backup programs, including Windows XP's own Ntbackup. Although
disc imaging software and backup software can both be used for backups, they
work in different ways. Only you can decide what's best for you.
