Cool. I know somebody that had a decade of family photos on a portable USB drive that died. I didn't want to say it at the time but I was shocked that something so important wouldn't be backed up somewhere. It's a horrible way to learn that lesson. We don't have human children but our feline "kids" have all their pics backed up. I have an online backup and a local backup to a USB drive. Both are automatic because I find that manual backups easily get forgotten. That's a bit harder to do with an entire system image unless you have a fast machine.

I'm glad you posted, Bill. It reminded me of Rescuezilla as a cloning option as well as of its reliability.
