    OK, this might not be strictly Sony Z specific, but what do people recommend as Backup Software?

    My question is specific to the Z in the respect that I would like something that will enable me to create an initial Image of the Hard Drive, and copy it to my External 1TB USB drive (so has to support both booting from Sony Z CD, and support Hard Drive attached to the Z USB port)

    Tried Acronis Image Home 2009 - took approx 10 minutes to load each time, and was going to take 1.5 days to create the initial image (approx 300GB)

    Previously I have removed the hard drive and used an old version of Ghost 2003 to create an image using my Desktop PC, then just used "Second Copy" to keep a backup of my user files. And although I do now have a 500GB drive in my Z, I dont really want to remove the HDD again....
