| 802699 | 2009-08-20 00:52:00 | I have a customer with a cash register system run through a computer. We want to simply image the hard drive so if the original hard drive fails it's just a matter of switching cables and the system is up an running. Is there a simple program available to do that? Could I get some suggestions of how to proceed from here. Thank you. |

| 802701 | 2009-08-20 01:23:00 | If its a one off then(all free): Macrium Reflect(easiest to use) SelfImage Clonezilla If you need incrementals or differential backups regularly, then I recommend Ghost or Acronis. DriveImageXML if you need it to be free Blam |

| 802703 | 2009-08-20 03:20:00 | Possibly I used the wrong word. What I want to do is copy the original hard drive to another backup. The programs suggested created images and these would then need to be re-installed. I want to simply copy the hard drive so if the original hard drive fails it's just a matter of switching cables and the system is up an running. Opps -- looks like Acronis True Image has a "clone" mode -- giving that a try now. |

| 802705 | 2009-08-20 07:46:00 | You could do the same with DriveIImageXML:) | Blam (54) | ||
| 802706 | 2009-08-20 08:53:00 | Sounds like what you really need is Raid | PPp (9511) | ||
| 802707 | 2009-08-20 09:13:00 | The latest Parted Magic has a program on it to image a drive. You can download the cd image and then burn to cd. It is a very useful disk now. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
