Thank you. That looks like what I'd want. It's going to be
scary to test the restore, but, not as scary as using a new backup
program and *not* testing the restore. (It's also a good thing I
kept my C: partition at 4GB; it'll fit on a DVD.)

Thanks again for the link. I probably won't report back on
success or failure because it'll be a while.
