Thanks for the useful information. I have used BackItUp, Nero, Drive
Image, and lately Retrospect with mixed success. I will look into Ghost
and Acronis. Sorry if it is somewhat off-topic, but any preferences
between the two?

Wish I could add some comments on the the use of MsBackup.
I've been a fan of imaging software for years.
Current imaging programs(Ghost 12 and Acronis True Image 10) can image
an entire drive, clone the drive/partition to new, spare, or
replacement drive, backup folders/subfolders files and more. Those
capabilities surpass anything that MsBackup includes.

The nature of the problem: The Norton recycle bin stop logging the
deleted files thereby unavailable for retrieval.
