backing up files?

Including all teh bloatware, trojans, viruses, malware.......

Ghost is good but you should do a clean install, put on only teh apps that you really want, set all your configuration as you like it and THEN burn a ghost image( or if your tight like me invest 5 minutes in understanding how to use a Linux Live CD and teh dd command which is just as good). Data should always be considered seperate from system/apps as it makes it far more portable when you buy a new PC etc. IMHO you should put all personal data on a seperate partition so you can ghost/dd just your data. It also means you can splat teh system/app partition with little risk to the data

We need a bargain/freebies forum on AccyWeb so we don't miss out on this sort of thing.
 
Gmail also has a ridiculously large email storage space - email yourself a .zip or rar or tar.gz and it'll be held on google servers for ya. Easy.
