RE: Windows XP Backup on a CD

Hi Dan,

        Yes, it boots a limited version of freebsd.  And Yes, I Image my Win2k
regularly even though it is pretty piggish.  I have successfully restored a
win98 image to another machine and restored a winnt 4 image to a little
server - worked like a charm.  Sure pulled my chestnuts out of the fire on
the nt thing and dadgummed quick too - took about an hour and a half to
restore - backing up is slower.  Totally operating system independent - just
images the raw drive, compresses it on the fly and sends it to an ftp server
on the network...

        No.  I Use window's Defrag.  There is a Freeware program mentioned on 
the
g4u site which will write the zeroes.  I do that during the day in the
background and boot to a g4u floppy at quitting time and have it do the
backup.

Rick,

Does G4U run from a bootable floppy?  So one might be able to image a
Windows system?  Are you implying that G4U can do the defrag and write hex
zeros as well?
