To backup my hard drive, I use Drive Space and a CD recorder.  It works
great!  Drive Space creates a single file which is mounted as logical
drive C:, then everything that I read or write to drive C is actually
stored in that single file.  I adjusted the file to the size of a CD
disk (640Meg) and I can then back up all of drive C by copying this 1
file to a CD-R.  I have 2 physical hard drives and I also do daily
backups of this drive space file by copying it from one physical hard
drive to the other.  With the UDMA drives, I can copy this 640Meg file
over in about 3 minutes.  So, I am effectively backing up well over 1
gig of files in about 3 minutes.  It takes about 30 minutes to copy this

file to a CD recorder.

The big disadvantage to Drive Space is that it does not work with the 32

bit FAT, so I am using a 16 bit FAT.
