Ah okay, XXClone Pro does the same thing. Although they call theirs as 
incremental.

I am sure I tried that and I actually tried to restore and I had 
problems. Also interesting, Asus XP restore disc uses a limited version 
of Ghost32.exe to restore XP. Although it can only restore. Getting the 
real Ghost32.exe and running it from say BartPE works and fits the small 
screen with lots of room to spare. So that is what I use on my EeePCs. 
Also works well backing up and restoring Linux too.
