My favorite backups are disk images. By taking a complete image of your hard drive you can be sure all your data and programs are saved.

The downside is you need a lot of storage to keep these images. Since hard drives are relatively inexpensive get an external hard drive to keep your backup images.

1. Ghost 14 – from Symantec is the one I use the most even though there seem to be a lot of preferred options to Ghost from Symantec.
2. True Image – from Acronis seems to be the preferred program and tool for imaging disks.
3. Reflect – from Macrium has a free edition that is good but doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the other two.

Ghost and True Image are a very good value for well under $100. The most expensive part of any backup scheme is the storage. Get your hard drive, download the software and get backed up!
