Backup Software
I have a new Dell Dimension and just bought a Seagate External Hard Drive to backup my system on. The external drive did not come with any backup software, and I'm not fond of the backup software that XP has. Any recommendations on a good Backup Software program that I might purchase??

I too use the Acronis "True Image" backup software. Works on XP and Vista.

You may find this link useful ... and the links within.Should also help others who are considering making backups using Acronis.The above link gives full graphic details on making backups using Acronis ... suggest you add it to your bookmarks or print out.You may have to change your BIOS to ensure that you can boot from your CD/DVD-ROM drive in the event of Windows being unable to load. You would then use the Bootable Disk to load Acronis.All explained in the above link.ScrumdownI also highly recommend Acronis 10 ... IMO it's by far the best.I have successfully made backups onDVD-RW DisksExternal Hard DriveThe Dedicated Acronis Secure Zone partitionwith no problems in all cases.

Once you buy (from anywhere)and register it, you can download latest version from manufacturer (like version 10 build 3598 to build 4942).
There is no reason not to price shop on this product, and Newegg is a very respected online retailer.
