[Electronics-talk] accessible backup software for windows

[Gerald Levy]

There are presently no image backup programs that I am aware of that are 
totally JAWS accessible.  A few programs like Macrium Reflect and Image for 
Windows are JAWS accessible during the backup phase to save the image to an 
external hard drive, but there is no program that is accessible during the 
image restoration phase because there is no speech available with the 
special boot CD that all of these programs require.  I use Macrium Reflect 
to back up my system every two weeks, but if my hard drive crashed, I would 
need sighted assistance to restore the image that I saved on an external 
hard drive.
