    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend backup solutions for Vista and XP? I have researched this my self but need other users advice at this point.

    It must be the same software that I use on both. My main focus is complete system backup. It is a requirement that the software can backup both my Lenovo T500 with its 3 partitions and 2 HP's.

    I have evaluated Acronis TI 2009, Norton Ghost 14, Paragon and Novabackup 10. So far I like them all but I have only evaluated them on a test PC - tried to backup multiple partitions etc. However - today I read on both Acronis support pages AND Norton Ghost that they cant backup Lenovo W500 hidden system partitions!!! My T500 is not that different in setup and Im really quite surprised that it is that hard to find a solution that just works no matter how your drives and partitions are defined.

    Can anyone recommend me some software that can deliver functionality that just works?
