I want to make a backup of my c: drive so that I can reinstall all
my software more quickly, i.e. by restoring my c:. Since I have
another copy of windows on another partition, I can log onto
the other partition and copy my c: drive from there, hopefully
no files will be locked. Or, I can simply copy the entire volume,
but I don't know which software will do this.
What is the best approach, to simply copy the files, or to copy
the c: drive image, and if so which software (preferable free)
will enable me to do this. Lastly, I want the save to fit into
just one dvd disc, so any software will need to be able to
create an image of real files (which are in total 3GB) and
ignore the other 30GB or so.
