xxclone sounds like a neat tool. However, I would like to have
incrementals that don't require a complete restore. So I may need to
get my MS Money file from 2 days ago. The imaging or cloning alone
won't allow that.

Perhaps I should just forget about a mirrored drive and go with
incremental imaging and regular backups so that I can have file by
file restores plus fast catostrophic failure restores.

For incremental imaging, say I take a full image on Saturday and do
incrementals each day than have the drive crash on Wednesday. Do I
need to first do the full restore and then apply in order the four
incrementals? Just like a database restore. I gues it isn't so bad
if you want protection from both types of failures (file by file and
catostrophic).
