Thanks all for great info.

I went with Macrim Reflect to a USB flash drive.

I had been doing backups of critical data to CD,
but wanted something easy to cover the whole PC.

It's a lot quicker (making an image that is) if you keep your data
separate from your OS-and-installed-software, either on a separate
partition or a separate drive. (You don't need to include the data
partition/drive in an _image_ [though still back it up of course, by
whatever means you like]).

Have you ever heard about a petition, disagreed with it, but been frustrated
that there's no way you can *show* that you disagree? If so, have a look at
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/232770 - and please pass it on if you
agree, especially to twitter, facebook, gransnet/mumsnet, or any such forum.

If you carry on hating, you're the one who's damaged.
