Currently using Ghost on one computer that I don't like. After reviewing the thread comments definitely considering going to Acronis.

I have another relatively new computer with RAID, I think that it duplicates my hard drive automatically so that I am completely backed-up with every key stroke.

Acronis sounds like redundancy, but I may still install it to an external drive for the few bucks peace of mind. I also believe if you want to install Acronis on more than one computer you need an additional license.

Thanks for explaining those extra details about Acronis. Comments about it lead me to believe it does its thing faster than the XXCLONE copy process. But, like you, I just go to the kitchen and fix a sandwich or open a cool one.

thecow, re >Acronis will let you make a restore cd that you boot from if your boot drive is screwed.<

I have Acronis and just made a new image today. Do I have to make a new restore CD, too?
