Probably - but, many back-up programs just back-up documents and not executables. Transfering all data from one machine to another is more complex than most casual users can navigate. You might wish to bring both machines to a computer tech to do it...it will save you the need for several neck massages and a bunch of asprin. I transfered my data (and I'm a lan tech)...it took several days to resolve all the problems. The issue is that programs like Norton Ghost are hard to use to transfer executables as you need to have the original executable to make the required registry changes. An easier option (if you want to do it yourself) is to just transfer documents and reload all the programs you want from the original discs (assuming you have them and the keys). Remember to update each program from its home website. This will take a bunch of time; but, it's easier than trying to correct the registry if the mirror back-up messes up.
