Backing up my system
-MBG--De-Sniper

Ok I was trying to use the built in back up program on windows xp but whenever i try to connect to the program it says
"The service cannot be started because it is either disabled or because it has no devices associated with it.
This snapin's display may be inconsistent with the Removable Storage Service. If the problem persists restart the snapin."
How do I restart the Removable Storage Service?
I want to do a full backup of my entire system.
Would you recommend a free back up program that would be able to do my whole system and compress it to a single file and save it somewhere for safe recovery later? Like on a CD or DVD somewheres.
Thanks

@echo off
xcopy "D:\stuff" /e /c /i /g /h /k /x /y f:\[/php]You save that as "backup.bat" on your c:\ drive or something (obviously replace the D:\STUFF and the F:\ with your own source and destination drives), and then use task scheduler to run that every night at 1 am or something. flawless victory.
If you want the ability to have a single archive that also supports recovery from DVD, use Acronis TrueImage. (www.acronis.com)
What would I use to restore them?
