I use True Image 8 (TI9 demo is available at www.acronis.com, but I haven't tried it yet) to back up to external HDs. Works great, fast recovery. You'd have to run this under Windows to get automatic backups. In your situation, I'd consider backing up each to a local external drive (one external on each computer), then copy each backup set to the other computer's external for a little bit of redundancy. -- Neil Maxwell - I don't speak for my employer
