Off Topic, True Image 8 vs. Ghost 9 - redone

[Richard Urban]

Sorry to intrude people!

Due to the feedback I have received (through a few e-mails) I have performed
my tests a second time, taking into consideration certain variables that I
overlooked the first time round. I have also included additional timings
etc.

I will not clog up the group with the test, but if anyone is interested in
the results feel free to e-mail me. I can send it to you in either .doc or
..pdf format!

Please remove the obvious from my posted e-mail address.

Was it substantially different from the first test or are your conclusions
the same or close?

The conclusions are somewhat the same! I used the same operating system to
be absolutely certain there were as few variables as possible.

The first test was well done. If the second test supports it then the
conclusion from the first looks pretty accurate.

I had just bought the latest version of TrueImage days before I read your
first post :-( It still does the job for what I want though. I'm just using
it when I upgrade client's machines to bigger drives.

Got a question for you: I have an old version of Ghost that WON'T write
to NTFS partitions. All my drives are NTFS. Do the newer versions of
Ghost allow writing to NTFS yet? I can't currently use Ghost because
of this problem.

I'm trying to get TrueImage 8.0 to work on my pc. It's configured for
RAID 0 (160x2 SATA drive) It creates the image but when I try to
restore it, it says it "unable to load LINUX kernel" This is a Win XP
MCE 2005 machine. Any help will be appreciated.

Use the Windows True Image program to burn a new recovery CD. Then try
again!

I know that Ghost 2003 has the ability to read and write to NTFS
partitions, so the newer ones will also.

The True Image 8.0 bootable CD uses Linux as its basis for boot and
run. Sounds like a configuration problem with your RAID0 setup.
Suggest you contact Acronis Support via E-Mail and inquire about your
problem. They are usually very responsive in answering questions.
