We require a backup application that acts as a disaster recovery application. A simple one click solution to backup and entire drive and restore an entire drive.
Backups should be able to be done to CD/DVD media and possibly other removable media if required.
Restore should be able to be done on a fully formatted hard disc in DOS mode, (before a Windows install), as Windows will need to be included in the backup.
Basically, user backs up entire drive (this will need to include ALL files, including in-use system files), users hard drive crashes, user formats drive and inserts first DVD/CD disc, boots and the disc restores the entire drive exactly the same way it was upon last backup.
Please note that we would prefer the CD/DVD writing be internal and not use other third party ocx/dll files. As well, we would prefer the project be done in VB6 if possible, as we develop in this environment and would find it difficult for updates, etc. if this was coded in another language.
