Sorry to hear about your nightmare, my desktop’s jus waiting for a new power supply and reconstruction now itself. In the meanwhile my new Sony Vaio FE series is doing the trick. Isn’t it ironic as a career IT Professional that you might spend the greater part of 40 or more hours a week fixing computers in your full-time gig, plus the hours you spend moonlighting (that happens), and you STILL can’t seem to find time to fix your own computer? Nonetheless, I think that Windows incremental backups are great ideas, but an even better idea if you can would be incremental imaging (like with Nero, not sure if Norton Ghost does this). It’s worth the while to have a little cheap computer setup as the “backup image” server for your opertations. These computers have so much storage capacity nowadays that it’s ridiculuous, but also since you’re lucky enough to have a good network setup. Just my opinion. Good luck!
