No problem, post back your thoughts once you've taken a look if you like.

Craig

Starting with Norton Ghost 12, it can do file based backups as well as an image of your whole disk.

This is the first I have heard of StoreGrid, I'll take a look at it as well.

Kinda "weenie" as we call things in our house. But remember when computers came with 64mb and that was the Oooo and aww of the industry. Our first computer came with the max at 64MB we have up graded it to a bit over 512mb. Still runs...sort of lol

Imagine if they gave away all that space?
I would trade free for limited advertising for free more significant back up space.

Any help would be appreciated.
