From: Gary Britt 

We're talking past each other.  All my statements have been about Acronis
TrueImage backup and I assumed your statements and questions that followed
were about or related to products like Acronis.  So how does, if at all,
your statement about copy protected stuff there is no such thing as a
reliable backup.  My Acronis backups are reliable drive images.  Now if I
had any DRM infected files maybe they couldn't be restored to new hardware,
but everything else that I use could.  Of course I don't use Vista.
