418311 2006-01-04 22:49:00 Hi Team

I am a long-time Norton Ghost user, but I was intrigued by the report on True Image in the Dec/Jan PCW and decided to try it. However, the only source I have found so far is the downloadable version from the US, but I would much prefer a shrink-wrapped copy purchased locally. From the way they market their CD backup disc it sounds like you can't make your own CD from the download either, though that may just be creative marketing hype.

Unfortunately the review did not include local (or any) supplier details, and Google was most unhelpful, so can anybody help out with a shop source?

Cheers

418313 2006-01-04 23:08:00 Let us know how you get on with Acronis, because its about time i get some decent imaging software too. A nice little user write up would be great :thumbs: Prescott (11)

Neither site has it, the first will sell you a "key", and the second takes you direct back to the Acronis site in the US.

This is what makes it all so frustrating.

I don't mind buying via download, but I want to be able to produce a program CD for future use and the wording on the Acronis site rings alarm bells.

Maybe PCW can tell us where they got it from, their review has local pricing of $100 incl GST.

Cheers

You could enquire there iif they sell the so0ftware on its own.
Cheers.

I found that one but yes, it is V8.0. They may have V 9.0 but they are usually good at updating their website. I'll give them a call anyway and see if they are getting it in.

I can research all right Safari, I just haven't found a retail (or trade) outlet in NZ selling V9.0 in a box.

Please demonstrate your boundless skills and find one for me. Do make sure that it is a genuine sales outlet for V9.0 though, or somebody might justifiably criticise your research ability.

Cheers
