What other programs besides Symantec Ghost can be used to duplicate a hard drive? Or, what would you recommend using?

I have recently bought a 2nd hard drive as I am starting a home business and want to mirror/duplicate the entire 1st drive constantly as my way of backing up everything. All programs, operating system and data would then be saved identically should anything happen to either one.

Is Ghost a wizard type program that takes you step by step through installation and setup or do you need more extensive computer knowledge to handle this program?

What would you suggest?

Linda,
I have used Rapid Deploy from Altiris. It works well, all images are stored on a server, where you can upload them as you choose. You are also able to push updates (patches) out to clients with this software.

After speaking with Best Buy, they advised to upgrade to MS Windows XP Professional and said it had a built in whatever do do the RAID and mirror the 2 hard drives. I bought 512MB of RAM to add to my existing 128MB RAM and he also informed me my Windows ME operating system couldn't handle over 512MB RAM. Lucky to have learned that. Any Comments?
