HD Backup ?

Have Winxp with SP2
Hd 80 gig
got a 500 gig external USB HD and now looking for a good backup program
Want to be able to "create" a copy on the new drive so I can see the files.

Any suggestion?

That's what I would say too but he will have to use the Acronis utlity to
be able to see the files inside the image file. I don't think that's what
he really wants.

There is a Windows-port and it should work. Or are Windows
users only able to click and not to type?
