Backup Software - Opinions Wanted

You could be running into "files in use" or "UAC" based problems when trying to backup the whole drive. I'd do one Ghost copy of the whole image and then just back up your profile and whatever files are really necessary. Backing the whole drive just isn't worth it.

I'll do just Ghost image copies as that is the fastest way to recover the whole drive.

Have you disabled UAC or ran with elevated priv's and tried a backup?
