Ladies and gents

May i recommend "Second Copy" it is very easy to use and setup, works in the background, i have a complete backup of all my bryce, including mat's and stuff on my second external drive.

GreenHawke - if its "only" your win that has crached on you, you should still be able to get your bryce thingies out of there. If you're harddrive has crached, but theres still life in there, well then there are proggys to get things out of there as well. If the circuit on the harddrive has crached, then there is the possibiity to find and buy a used similar disk that may have crashed otherwise, and switch the curcuit, i have ssen other people do that trick, and the switch of the circuit are pretty easy - in fact its as easy as to plug the drive into your motherboard
