This recent (February, 2008) review of drive image backup software may be of interest to readers of the forum: Drive-Imaging: Beyond Backup. The products in the review include:

Acronis True Image 11 Home

Symantec's Norton Ghost 12.0
DriveImage XML

Among the products reviewed, the “Editor’s Choice” is ShadowProtect Desktop.

Let's see .. who do we know here who happens to use ShadowProtect? [smiley=smiley.gif]

Looks like you made a wise choice, Pleo. Tho the link takes you to a Ghost 12 page.

I might recommend buying Norton Ghost 12.0 because it has the best interface of any drive-imaging competitor, and it's the only product of its kind that won't frighten a completely nontechnical user.

Yes, Norton Ghost 12 did receive a very good review, too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Norton Ghost to anyone, even though I currently prefer an alternative (ShadowProtect).

Product reviews such as this one are “one data point” to consider when making a purchase decision. Obviously, this review (or any other) can’t (and shouldn’t) be a substitute for thinking about your own individual needs and unique requirements.

Best wishes,
