Back up and restore

Hi I am using windows vista premium on my laptop.
Is it possible to make an image backup with this operating system?
Also if a file backup completes successfully and is backed up on a network
drive will I be able to restore from a new install of window vista premium
on the same laptop that was backed up to the network drive? Is there a
better way using vista premium? I have Norton Ghost 12.0 on my desktop but
not on the laptop with vista premium. Don't what to have to buy a license
for laptop if there is another way to make sure in case of a failure of the
operating system that I could recover by an full backup or image ? I do some
beta testing and do not want to spend hours re-loading software! I do not
have a recovery partition on my laptop! If anyone has some information that
would give me a clue if what I am doing will work or not please type and let
me know? Thank you in advance!

Norton Ghost 12 can't be installed on the laptop too?

SIW2,
Have you used this program before? Is there any information available
that would tell me about it before using? Thank you for suggestion. I am
downloading and hope to use if I can feel comfortable about it? Your help is
much appreciated!

Mike,
Thanks for the info! I was aware I could not use without another
license! I stated I didn't want to buy another license in my first post.

I can read.

I questioned your thinking that it couldn't be installed on another
machine. Is it specifically prohibited by the EULA? If you try to
install it on a second computer, will it run?

O.K. Mike,
Your 100% correct about that. Please except my apology if I offended
you! I wasn't meaning too! Anyway how do I get replies to show up within a
short time after I send? Seems yours come through in real time? Thank you
for all your help! Accidently sent to your e-mail. Please delete! Thanks
again!
