Rudy, you can do this with some imaging programs like Acronis True Image, if
I understood what you were saying above. By that, I mean I do have file access to the files stored in the image backup, so that I can copy a file stored in the image backup and put it back on my main drive. Acronis True Image (and perhaps some others) do have that capability, which is indeed handy, sometimes..

But to have that access, don't you have to use Acronis? I think one of
the things Rudy wanted was after was something that didn't require extra software above what comes with the OS.

Of course. I was just addressing his second point about partial restores of files..
