whats the best hard drive backup image software

keakar · Jan 27, 2008

what are your thoughts on which hard drive backup image software is the best and easy to use?

PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST NORTON GHOST! its crap and doesnt work, 3 out of 4 backups are found to be corrupted when you try to restore your drive. if you disagree please read here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/229939-49-warning-norton-ghost-major-problems or try other complaints: http://www.google.com/search?q=noor...-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1

I use Acronis True Image.

Easy to use,can schedule times for backups and from your first backup you can do incremental backups there after,so saving time on each task.

I have restored my OS a number of times without any problems.You can also check each image for corruption so ensuring you can restore without trouble.

Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost are both good software to make images of you hard drive. I perfer acronis for personal use, and ghost for larger usages.
