    Acronis True Image Or Norton Ghost. Other than the cost is one better than the other? I was reading about Acronis but did not know what this means "Limitations: Can not create and restore a disk image when launched from the bootable rescue media." :)

    That option is missing in the trial version ( 15 days ) of the software, if you purchase the full retail version then that option to boot and recover from bootable media is avaiable.

    I have used True Image for a few years now and find it easy to use, I have also heard that the latest version 9 of Ghost is alot better than some of the older versions mainly because they bought Drive Image ( Powerquest the other year and use their technology now )


    Review on TI 6 but info still stands for version 8

    I have a current version of ghost and acronis. I prefer Acronis over ghost. It's easier to use and doesn't suck up so much resources. It's just simple. Not that Ghost is overly complicated but it gets in the way.
