X-Cannon Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Are there any really good disk imaging software out there? Norton Ghost or an equivalent to that. What I want to do is Back up my HDD full then incremental backups after that. I have XP (Vista Ultimate comes with one) I would like it to be free but backing up data can be invaluable sometimes. THX in advance :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 We use Acronis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Bozodog I've checked out Acronis They have so many different products I'm leaning more towards this although it doesn't do incremental backup or even differential backup for that matter is there anything else guys could recommend?

shanenin Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I know version 9 does incremental backup, I bet version 10 does also. I can't see any reason they would remove that feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Acronis does do what you need and more.http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/produ...res-backup.htmlCreate incremental and differential backupsFaster backups by only capturing changes since the last backup or the last full backup.

bozodog Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yeah, X. We have used Acronis through two versions. Nice thing is it does automatic, incremental back ups on any schedule you set up. Ours goes to our server, then every few months we burn it to a DVDR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Oops, I was looking at the overview page instead of the features page . If you fine techies recommend it I will get it. Also something that just popped into my head a few weeks ago but I forgot to ask was if it can do a full back up of the O/S and you install it on a separate machine wouldn't you have to reactivate windows? also wouldn't you have some issues where the O/S is expecting a certain motherboard, RAM, processor etc...

TheTerrorist_75 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yes you would have to do a repair install then reactivate when moving the OS to a different system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
