Ghost recommendation?
May 1

I have an hd drive that i partition into 2 drive. C: and D:
I want to copy C drive exactly as is after fresh window, ms word, acrobat, firefox, etc. just programs that every computer require. Programs i usually reinstall after reformat. Im tired doing that every couple months, now here is where I think ghost can help me but i am wondering if it will restore to exact match as the day i backed it up? Like registry and files. It also deletes files that were added after backup, including possible spyware and viruses that might be unknowingly installed by my family?
I just want that for that sole purpose. No raid or anything special. Would ghost 12 "One time backup" do that or a previous less expensive version of ghost do the same thing?
Im on good old winxp 32bit.

friedchicken,
Yes. When you restore a backup image (recovery point) your OS will be the same as the day the image was created.
Rather than just creating a "One time backup", you could create an incremental image every day and keep the last week or two. So when your OS becomes corrupt you can restore to a recent point in time.
You could store your recovery points in the D: drive but if your HD fails you lose your recovery points as well as the OS. So recovery points should be stored on another HD or DVDs. Most of use recommend against DVDs. Too slow and unreliable.
