What do you use to backup your hard drive?

[Jeff K]

Looking for some new software to image my drives.

I have been using Norton Ghost 2003 for years. Great stuff...

[Thunderbolt]

Used it when I replaced my hard drive on the desktop.  Copied the entire drive and it came up bootable on the new drive.  I tried Total Media Backup and it was shall we say "unsatisfactory".  The Acronis is the way to go.

This is what I use and it can and will keep your files in synch....

Acronis True Image Home is one of the only low cost backup software that I have used that actually has been able to boot from a CD and restore my complete system to a new drive without one problem.  I regularly backup to a Seagate external 500Gb drive (USB) and it the bootable CD was able to access that drive and restore to my new SATA hard drive that replaced one that failed.

I use Norton Ghost also. I dont create a backup though. I go into the advanced mode of Ghost and clone a exact copy of my computer to a partition on a external drive. I do this on a regular basis. If I do have a catastrophic failure, It only takes a few minutes to clone a new hard drive back to my configuration. I have been using the western digital passport external drives for my backups. They are small and quick.

$105 and you get 500 gigs of backup. Great for taking with you on trips to save your pictures.
