JG>JE>Jean, I can do a restore to my system all the way back to 10/26 and
JG>JE>nearly every day in between (I didn't make an incremental back up EVERY
JG>JE>day - just most days). That's one of the blessings of Acronis True Image.
JG>JE>Check it out.

JG>Ok, I'm glad I waited to reply to this.  There is misuse of the term
"restore"
JG>here.  Jean is talking about XP's restore points that are built into the OS
JG>and Jay's talking about restoring from any sort of backup.  (And, no, I
won't
JG>debate whether Acronis is a backup system. <smile>)

JG>The system restore via XP is a relatively convenient way to get back to
where
JG>you were without any additional software but has the limitation of not being
JG>able to get rid of new files that were part of the problem that caused the
JG>restore to be needed.  Acronis has the ability to rewrite a complete OS and,
JG>if you did incrementals, bring it up to date to a certain level minus the
JG>extra files (if it supports differential incrementals).

JG>Either system suffers with limited ability if the data doesn't go back far
JG>enough.  XP may actually be the preferred system if you can allocate enough
JG>disk space to hold the restore points but there's no reason you can't keep
JG>backups on removeable media to go back to the beginning of backups.

JG>Lotsa choices and strategies, each with strengths and weaknesses...

Actually, I find NO weakness in Acronis other than it requiring a
separate HD (in case of the primary HD cratering) which is it's
strength.
