back-up help

Lucas68668 · Mar 9, 2002

How do I make a back-up of my entire computer the way it is now? I guess what I want is to be able to make a sort of mirror copy of my hard drive, so that if/when it crashes, I wont have to spend the next three weeks tweeking everything back to the way it was (all my prefs in apps, my address book... etc). Is there some sort of application that will do this and copress the 10gb of info down to fit on a CD?! I am working on a two year old imac and I have an external CD burner. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi Lucas
Norton ghost will do this
http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/
but I doubt that anything will be able to compress 10gb into 650mb.

Ian
