Of ghost or av or. ? I've seen more people get their winsock screwed by av / firewall where only norton removal tool and some replacements fix it. That product is toast. And to me, the last version of ghost that was really worth a damn was 2003. Once they forgot how important bootable cloning media was, they lost the thread altogether. That combined with acronis support for things like Bart, cloning non pc drives, etc. Sent via BlackBerry

A while back, I switched to Acronis (version 7, I think) from Ghost. AT that time, I liked Acrosis better than Ghost. But then Ghost came out with some better features and I switched back. Acronis finally caught up (around version 9 or so), but I have stuck with Ghost. I think they are relatively on par. Once in a while I see ATI for about $20. And every now and then, I see a Norton NIS, Norton Ghost, and something else bundle for free after MIR and upgrade MIR.

I can get Acronis True Image Home 2009 for $29.65. Is this a good price? It seems the consensus here was that his was a pretty good package (best?) for backup and imaging. I thought it may be nice to get Disk Director 10 too but adding that would bring the total to $79.64. Is DD worth the extra money? Anyone know of any package deals for the two that would work out cheaper? Thanks! -- Gary http://www.twigsandtracks.com Twigs snap and tracks fade, a photograph reacquaints
