Hello
I am not so happy with the solution "Drive Image Backup"

Drive Image creates a proprietary file and can restore the
the whole partition only ;-(

Myself would prefer a big ZIP file of my system partition.
With my system partition backup as ZIP I am able to unzip either
the whole file / system or needed file(s) only ;-)

This system ZIP file stored on MO or a CD media can be restored
OS independent !

I will do this when my system will be completely reinstalled with
MCP 4.52 !

Regards, svobi

Drive Image boots from a floppy and will recognize, and burn to,
your CD
burner. No OS/2 software is required.

Beware, Drive Image V. 5.0 is the last version to support HPFS
partitions.
The new Drive Image 2002 does not support HPFS (although there is
a way to
use it by disabling one of the features, I forget which at the
moment).

Also, with Drive Image, you can only restore a complete partition
-- not
individual files like with backup software and tape.
