You're right about the Windows installation disks, as well as other programs - in fact, I'd assumed we weren't even discussing these things.

While the 'profile' may be important, I'd assumed we were talking about personal files on the computer (i.e. non-OS, non-program), which DO need to be backed up semi-regularly. This would include, say, all of a writer's documents, or a music collection, or spreadsheets for financial issues etc. Email correspondence also needs to be backed up, if you'd like to keep them - they're saved separately, depending on the program you're using.

I would imagine Sens has quite a bit in the way of written documents alone that he'd like to back up - it's easiest just to copy these directly and not dick around with a 'profile'. Or the OS.

The profile has all the documents in it. Also it has his preferrences(sp) when someone said it took a million CDs to back up their system, I assumed that they were backing up system files or something non essential.
