My disk is only 18GB and has 4 partitions on it! (Actually, I have three disks now but I used to have just the one).
I look after a small office network for a company nearby. They have 5 workstations and one fileserver. All their working files are held in one shared partition on the fileserver. They generate lots of documents and also run Sage Line50 accounts, Sage Payroll and Sage P11D off it. And the total size of this partition is....................a mere 2GB! The whole disk is only 18GB. Think carefully about what you actually need to back up and I bet it won't be very much. In this case it's all copied every night to DVD-RAM.
Incidentally, I renamed all the 'My Documents' folders on the workstations to 'Our Documents' and pointed them all to the same location using right-click / properties as described above. On my machine, the registry key to locate the windows address book is:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wa b File Name
And the folder with the location of the favorites, cookies and history is:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
