Yesterday I backed up my C drive prior to installing a new OS. Took about 3 hours to backup ~55GB to another drive. After deciding the new OS I installed was a no-go, I ran dixml from the backup drive (after booting into another OS on that backup drive - dix apparently won't restore the partition you're working from); restore took less than an hour, Win did a diskchk, moved a few things, and on reboot, _everything_ was precisely as it had been. Bravo!
I've paid big bucks for backup/restore/imagine apps (and they are good) _but_ Drive Image XML puts most of 'em to shame for simplicity, speed, and efficacy. I'm sold.
Caveat: as needed, please take the time to read the relevant helps and messages, and slow down enough to reason through what you want to do, paying attention to which drive is what.
Price: Free
