Hi Allen,
That's an excellent idea, thanks! This whole idea of partial backups has never made much sense to me anyway. Yes, if your hard drive gets fried it's nice to have your data backed up somewhere, but you still have to reinstall Windows and all your programs, and that's still a huge pain in the neck (assuming that your PC maker even gave you disks for all the pre-installed programs).
Do you use Norton Ghost? How well do you like it, or how reliable is it?
Of course, I'd still like to know if there is a way to make use of the online backup.
