Restore Your harddrive in 5 seconds

In my shop I have been making a big thing about harddrive backup with another harddrive. Usually this means that I install another harddrive in a removable frame (comes with a key so the drive doesn't run and wear unless you are actually using it) and write a batch file using Xcopy32 (no copyright issue like with Ghost) to back it up. The last one I sold I put BOTH drives in removable frames. If something goes wrong with my customer's harddrive, all he has to do is swap one drive for the other and he has a 5 second restore for a total cost of less than $100 wholesale for the two frames and the extra harddrive.
