| 679471 | 2008-06-17 19:46:00 | Hi wanting some constructive input nothing too negative please what would you buy since they cost pretty much the same. Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image. :thanks |

| 679472 | 2008-06-17 20:31:00 | I've used Acronis True Image Home twice successfully in the last couple of months . I found that their help wasn't particularly prompt or useful, however, there is a 119 page user's guide that answers most things . I didn't actually try the Secure Zone - I used the Emergency Boot Disc (comes with the download) to start from a CD while booting (in my case, the cd drive, not the DVD drive) - and proceeded from there, replacing my current C drive with the copy of C drive I had saved on an external HDD . Good luck - I found it useful, but can't comment on Ghost . :) |

| 679475 | 2008-06-18 05:53:00 | Ghost 2003 is what I use - I think it's also the last one that actually worked before they turned it into a piece of crap | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 679476 | 2008-06-18 07:10:00 | Not very helpful Agent or PCtek since I can't buy either of those products only the newest versions. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 679477 | 2008-06-18 07:27:00 | I use both Ghost on W2000 PC and Acronis on my XP machine, I find Ghost is a lot simpler, but they both seem to work fine. I like the incremental backup of a Acronis. | porkster (6331) | ||
| 679478 | 2008-06-18 07:35:00 | Are these products limited to one computer, I'm often helping friends do stuff and so would like to be able to use on any machine. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 679479 | 2008-06-18 07:43:00 | Ghost 2003 also comes with systemworks 2004 pro - so if you got yourself a copy of that 2nd hand you'd be fine... Sorry I can't say anything about the new versions - except I don't think they are as good as the older ones. Either way, I think the home versions are supposed to be used on only 1 PC (although they will work on as many as you like) |

| 679480 | 2008-06-18 07:58:00 | I use Acronis and whilst pretty good their help is rather slow and sporadic. When reading the forums a year or two ago, the consensus was the Ghost 2003 was really good. I would go for Acronis but failing that for Ghost 2003. Misty :D |
