How to Create a Mirror Image of My Computer
A mirror image of your computer is a complete duplicate of your computer's hard drive, right down to the last available file. This can be done so long as you have a second hard drive of equal or greater capacity, as you will need the storage space to create an effective mirror image. The copying process can vary in length, depending on the speed of your computer, so plan to spend an hour or more copying files.
