Thank you for reading this somewhat off topic question.<br>
<br>
I have been given an old laptop that will have Windows XP removed, but before I do I'd like to make a complete backup. The previous owner will surely want to recover some little gem at some time in the future.<br>
<br>
Lucky Backup has served me well and I'm wondering if something similar is available for Windows. A Google search has uncovered a huge number of backup utilities but I'm unable to tell which one would be best for my needs.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
