If it's a once in a (PC's) lifetime job, then the knoppix offline way is the better way. The only guarantee M$ makes regarding shadow copy for non shadow copy awareapplications is that you get the same data that would reside on the disk after a PC crash. I got burnt when ntbackup copied an in-use svn repository (the with the Berkeley db backend).
I want to recover as much of the data I wrote to the old system onto a portable drive (which being new is big, I forget how big now but of the order of 200GB), and I want to put the files somewhere on my as yet unbuilt new machine, which will probably be running Vista dual boot with Ubuntu.
