I suggest that you download a trial of BackUpMyPc,

and see if this is what you want before you buy.

Hello, please excuse me if I'm posting to an incorrect
group. Can anyone tell me how to do an old fashioned
full backup of my system? I'm using Windows XP and
Microsoft 2000 (?). I have looked everywhere I can find
to look and don't find anywhere to do this. Obviously I
am a novice and am looking for answers to basic
questions. Any help or direction would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks Janet
