Re: Windows Own Backup

If you've got the software included with your edition of vista, you might as well use it. On paper it looks like it does the same job as ghost. Explore the features: Windows Backup and Restore Center. I would test it, but my vista laptop hasn't got it included.

Re: Windows Own Backup

NTBackup is ok, but you are better off invensting in some software or free software.

What are you backing up to?
