Would recommend this detailed information to anyone interested in putting together a backup regimen. Article can be downloaded, too, in a great help format. ( http://www.langa.com/backups/backups(13).htm )
Thanks to whoever suggested downloading trial version of Partition Magic. It will take care of the current concerns and we'll see whether I want/need to own the program.
