    I give the Dell Backup and Recovery Manager a fail for not restoring my system to the factory image. It would not work so I had to restore from scratch manually.

    Now that I have the system re-imaged, I'd like to back up it up in case I have to do this again. I'm wondering if DBRM would work for this. I have found that Windows Backup and Restore is very brain-dead when it comes to making an image backup. Irrespective of how much space is in use on the source drive, if the target drive is not at least as big as the source drive, it won't work. That makes it pretty useless. Does DBRM have this problem? Without any data, I'm using around 40 GB of the source drive.

    If you have a Seagate drive in the system you can download Diskwizard [its acronis tru image] and it works awesome for backing up and making a image. Only works with a Seagate unless you buy a retail version of Acronis.
