Hello group, I am looking for software recomendations.

I am planning to make an image of a drive in case my hard drive crash so I can restore to that specific point. I should be adding to that image every month if possible. What I am looking if for software that not only does this, but it also user friendly and makes the restore process easy. The image will be mostly burn to dvd's but in some occasion it can be burn to a hard drive.

I am also looking for a software that I can take mpeg or mp4 videos, be able to join them together and burn them to a dvd. So instead of having a dvd with lets say 4 different movies from a day activity I can have one movie in dvd. It does not have to be a fancy program that will turn my laptop in a tv station. Im trying to keep it simple but if it has all bell and whistles that will be ok then.

The software does not have to be shareware. If it does the job well and it is not outrageously expensive I have no problem payiing for it. However, shareware or freeware is good too.

Thanks!

For the drive imaging software, I like Acronis True Image. It's easy to install,run and administer. The incremental backup you need/want is slam dunk easy. Backup to DVD or HD as you see fit. Acronis allows you to make a bootable CD to restore complete images or restore certain folders as needed.

I like using Norton Ghost with a 2nd HD installed. You just choose "clone disk 1 to disk 2" once a day, week, whatever, and do the reverse to restore.
