alternative to norton ghost

[Deleted member 329]

what happined to this once fine application. i remember when you could boot from a floppy or cd and do all your ghosting nonsence in no time without having to install it and loads of (lets face it) usless crap that i will never use that constantly starts up with my computer ( i know you can turn it off ).

i think its time for a switch..

i am looking for a ghost like application that can image drives manually. ( i dont want/need to set automatic backups )

is there somthing like this out there?

thanks in advance for your help

Make a bootable Ghost disk.
You should only need Ghost.exe unless the very new version are totally messed up!

yeah in the new versions 8+ i think you cant create from the bootdisc only restore..


i have just used Acronis True Image.. not only is it like ghost but it works like ghost should!! brilliant!

i have seen some kind of system where if you used the dvd with a backup image on it you could just boot from that and after a few hours you will have your wondows fully installed and running with all programs and updates . Does anyone know what software you need to do this?

Id recommend Acronis over norton, purely for the fact they added the word Symantec on the front box.

i've moved over totally to acronis now. used to use ghost only. found acronis detects raid arrays etc hassle free. more than that, it also 'feels' better than ghost for some reason
