Vist and Ghost

[LarryW]

I mostly do my disk backups in case of a disk crash disaster so I can boot
from a recovery CD and restore an image of my disks. Under WinXP I've been
using Ghost from my Norton SystemWorks 2006 installation. But I can't
install SystemWorks in Vista. Is there any other good disk-imaging/recovery
software for Vista? Thanks!

Ghost 2003, dos version. I prefer it over everything else out there. This
is a full backup done manually.

If you want automatic Vista Business and Ultimate are pretty good.
If you want to just backup files, Windows Live OneCare Does a good job

I use Acronis TrueImage v10 Home edition free trial, until they come out
with a Workstation version that works with Vista.

It's really good.

Ultimate & I think Business include imaging backup software.

I agree with SS, Acronis True Image is probably the best and most complete
imaging software available today.

Okay, I'll look into that; thanks!

True Image 10 from www.acronis.com is GREAT. Already restored from backup
with it.

Do you happen to know if you can schedule it automatically to
limit the number of main and incremental backups retained,
deleting the oldest.

Yup.

It's beat Ghost in various reviews for a while now.

That makes me very happy. I've had a "No-Symantec" policy on my
computer for a about two years now.
