Barry, that's quite right. I used to back up my XP system with all progs on 3 DVDs, which was easy enough to deal with.

What I'd do is re-install your OS, get it the way you like it, don't install Office as this really isn't a big chore after an Image restoration, then back it up. No way that's just an OS with some programs like a screen reader installed pushing 80GB on the HD. Keep mp3s etc on a different drive to your OS and you'll cut downt he amount of DVD's you'll need for the back up. Regards, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of austin pinto Sent: 21 July 2012 12:06 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: request for a backup program ok lets say if i have a backup of 79gb how many dvds will i need? i mean i know i will require aprox 20 dvds but does image for windows compress the image more then what it does if on a hard drive? in the standard mode On 7/21/12, Richard Godfrey-McKay <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > If you could use DVDs rather than the perhaps more convenient hard > drive, you may need sighted help to set it up initially, but after > that, I've found it's just a question of following the steps > methodically. > > > Richard > > Richard Godfrey-McKay > > Telephone: 01738-445 880 > > Mobile: 07791 452 593 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On > Behalf Of austin pinto > Sent: 21 July 2012 10:42 > To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [access-uk] Re: request for a backup program > > hi i already have image for windows but we require sighted help to > restore and we have to create a recovery disk which i cant manage > > On 7/21/12, Richard Godfrey-McKay <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Have a look at image for windows.
