Future-proof HD backup?
The computer in front of me at the moment is running Windows 98 - so it's quite old! It does everything I want but there's always the worry that it and its hard drive (all 19Gb of it) are past their best.
I've been looking at getting an external hard drive for the sole purpose of taking a regular snapshot of my internal one so that I could reinstate things if the worst happens. This is probably a silly question but I'm very likely to get myself a new computer if I suffer a major failure with this one so would I be able to get things going again on a shiny new Windows Vista machine from the image I'll have from this computer?
