If I do image backups and daily incrementals using Ghost....is there a
reason I should also keep the XP System restore feature on? I do a baseline
once a month and then daily incrementals with Ghost 9.

Turns out if I have the XP Restore on, then Ghost wont do incrementals, only
the large baseline backups.

My thought is that doing it by Ghost means I restore everything, even apps
from the date chosen, whereas XP Restore only restores system data...drivers
and such. So the only problem may be a longer restore from my backup drive
vesus using the XP Restore.

What do you think?
