I need a really good free computer backup and imager so I can get backup and running fast. Windows 2000.?

Answer 1

hmm, it depend on the version of your windows 2000, if it's server version, the backup software would cost much money like:

if it's not, home version would work fine:

other way:

All versions of Windows include backup programs—but they do not always install themselves by default (XP Home, for example).

To install the Windows backup program: Put the original installation disk in your CD drive and navigate to the folder called /Valueadd/msft/ntbackup.

You will see a file entitled ntbackup.msi. Double-click this file and it will install the free backup program. The free backup program will then appear in the Systems Tools folder (click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Backup). You can now put (backup) the data on another computer, another hard drive, or a CD.
