  2. Good article.  I would like to see an overview of backup software for home or home-office use - i.e., works on one machine with no fancy setup, creates a bootable recovery CD for system restore, and doesn’t cost too much!  I use the discontinued Iomega Automatic Backup Pro, but I would prefer a supported program.  Any suggestions?
