Does ERUNT do anything that System Restore doesn't? Also, does it have any kind of performance impact whilst running? I mean, "implement good backup" has been on my todo list basically forever, and I need a good, free suggestion for both system and data. I need to get off my ass and do it, I guess.

I guess with ERUNT, you can schedule it to run more often than system restore.
One surprise I had with XP System Restore -- when ANY drive fills up, system restore turns off! It may also delete old restore points when this happens -- not sure.
I looked one day, and I had 0 restore points. One rarely-used drive had < 30 MB free -- not even my C: drive. Annoying. Let's hope XP SP3 fixes this.

My take has been to reserve one partition -- if not a drive -- for each category: OS, swap file, applications, data... as in C:\, D:\, E:\ and F:\ partition or drive -- drive is always better than partition.
I set up ERUNDT to back up my registry files on F:\.
All I have to do is backup daily my data also on F:\.
I use SyncBack (free, flexible, does also synchronization) to do the job on an external drive. Another physical internal drive would work as well; different drive, remember.
The OS can be re-installed 'virgin' easily on its own C:\.
The swap file can be deleted any time on its own D:\.
The apps are OK on their original disks or web connections (passwords, serial numbers encrypted on F:\, right?). So, I back up the E:\ partition/drive once in a while, no sweat.
What else?
Oh yes, I keep the beer in the garage fridge.
Cheers.
