Anybody have any experience?  Special loves or hates ?  I've been reading
specs and user comments on several, but would like input from the list too.

Priority is full image backups that will let me recover a whole system
without reinstalling anything, working with enough USB drives so I can have
a least 2 full backups of every machine, with at 1 offsite at all times.

Ability to restore individual file from full image backups is nice but not
vital.   (I have daily file backups of important files working with xcopy --
that's good enough so I don't need new software to improve on it).

Must be possible to schedule recurring jobs.

Must work across a network -- copying from other PCs to external drives
connected to my PC.  Ideally it would be controlled by my PC reaching out to
read the other machines.  The free/cheap pgms I have seen so far work the
other way round -- running on the machine being backed up and writing across
the network.  I can live with that as long as I get some kind of
notification of success or failure to my machine (perhaps an email), and my
share passwords are not visible on the other machines.

Must work with XP and Windows 7  (backing up from XP 7 & Win-7 to Win-7).

Must work !  (can't pretend to work and flake out on me when I need it).
