Add me to the list of users who ditched Ghost in favor of TrueImage. Ghost required entry into DOS and prohibited other work. TrueImage is a real Windoze program & user can work while backing up. If I left my machines on 24/7 I'd also use the auto-scheduler. I've also had some questions for the people at Acronis...they answered promptly and professionally. Jim W.

I've not had good luck with Ghost. It messes up my network config. I'm not sure but BackupExec might have a personal version still. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Bathory-Kitsz Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 9:52 AM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: [Finale] OT: Windows backup software Hi all, Windows question. Normally I do my file and drive backups with ordinary file copying (using a utility called ViceVersa) to removable USB drives. Windows XP SP3 just appeared this morning as a push update from MS. Before installing it SP3, I want a 'real' backup of that drive. Although all the SP3 docs look like I'm safe, there have been some unhappy reports about the results, especially with AMD processors (which I have). I've never actually had a problem with MS updates (lucky me), and I've been upgrading hardware and software on my main desktop since 1993 and Windows 3.1 (the floppy drive is the only original part left). The Windows XP upgrade was done using a full version, and it went smoothly -- but ya nevah know. So what do folks use who have actually had to restore their boot drive? I'm leery of Norton software, but Ghost seems popular. Does it work? I've also taken a peek at Acronis True Image which looks good.
