Creating an image?

Energize · 30 Dec 2006 at 21:05

What software is best for creating a backup image on an external hard drive so I can ghost it back to the pc later? I gave up using nlite for an all in one solution as there were just too many problems with it and it was overly complicated adding drivers to it.

I've used Acronis True Image a few times, and it's always done the job perfectly.

I use Acronis True Image 8 Corporate Workstation to create an Image of a RAID0 setup and store on another HDD, on occassions I have had to Restore the Image both from within XP and from boot CD (to run in DOS), and it has restored it perfectly each time, XP back up and running in just a few minutes.

Also used Norton Ghost, found it most UNreliable, it would not restore the Image when required to.

So ATI 8/9/10 gets my full approval.

Neither have I in all honesty, but I do prefer the Acronis Product.
