When Win-SP2 arrived I wanted to create a ghost of my C drive using Norton (in case SP2 blew it away). The problem was my backup drive uses firewire and there seems to be some problem with norton ghost and firewire ie it said it would take 24 hours to do about 9GB. Instead I made a partition on my C drive, Norton did a nice quick Ghost which I copied quickly to the firewire backup drive - but what a pain!

I would really get excited about a daily and incremental ghost of my C drive to my firewire drive. Does anyone know either how to make Norton do this quickly or some other software that does?

Otherwise I'll go with one of the software options mentioned in this thread to manage my 6GB of work files. I am leaning towards Retrospect - no pun intended :)

Essentially I need a backup solution that is:
- Automatic (daily)
- Quick (incremental)
- Works on Firewire

Nice to haves are:
- Standard file system so I can quickly go get any file without using the backup system.
- Backs up system files too - maybe monthly.
