Creating a Windows Vista Backup
10
.
In this How To, we're going to use an external USB 2.0 hard drive to take the drive image created by Windows Complete PC Backup. An archival drive can be shared between several PCs. Under Vista, it's unlikely you'll need to install special drivers for a device like this and simply plugging in the drive to any available USB 2.0 socket should add it to the list of drives displayed under Computer in Vista. To use Windows Complete PC Backup, the drive being backed up must be formatted using the NTFS filing system, not the older, less-efficient, FAT 32. This shouldn't be a problem, as Vista uses NTFS by default, so you would have to have deliberately reformatted your PC under FAT 32.
