Drive Image 7 or Back Up Now! 2

[rosetiger8]

Which one is the best?
It is not the latest version of Back Up Now!

Any ideas are appreciated.

Unless you want to activate every software product you buy, then you
should stay away from Drive Image 7. With their EULA you can't even
uninstall from one computer, and then reinstall it on another.

All of the BSA trust is moving to Product Activation, and each company
is making up their own rules for it.

Intuit has recently announced that their product line up for
this coming Tax season will abandon Product Activation.

Powerquest, Symantec, Macromedia, Adobe are all in the process, or
already releasing PA-disabled software. NAV PA only allows 5
reinstallations, but I believe on 2 machines. Each company has their
own special quirks.

Most computer users can't manage their start menus, let alone keep track
od all the stupid little rules of all these versions of PA. Nothing
like making computing harder and harder for the consumer. Treat them as
crooks, and then make them dance with the PA six-shooters!

Microsoft can get away with PA due to all the sheep that they have as
customers,but there are a lot of alternatives,say for example virus
scanners.This is the first year since NAV3 that I haven't bought the new
version,instead opting to buy My virus scanner off of Etrust.I don't use
Outlook Express so I don't have to worry about email virus.Also mail
washer don't hurt either.
