I don't know, NT BACKUP / ASR was as painless as it gets plus you don't actually need a floppy. Out of the millions of dollars worth of company information I have needed to backup, NTBACKUP/ASR was the easiest restore on the planet. Not one single problem and that's on VM Client servers as well.

You NEED to use some sort of backup and restore on your own - separate from the computer itself. ie. Norton Ghost and/or others.

WHAT good is a pc based recover or restore if it is that very system that is all virus infected???

MS has never been able to create a good backup program yet why not just leave this to third party developers that do a much better job. Examples - Casper, and Ghost.
