What to use to create a full system image?

Postby muppets4 » Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:17 am

Now that my server reaches 100% satisfaction, I want to protect my (and Bigfoot65's) hard labour. I did found some backup programs, but what I am looking for is a program like Ghost, so that it is easy to restore. But, offcourse, I can't find any. Are there such programs? And preferably automated programs?

clonezilla is a very good tool (like ghost), also has network functionality if you're looking for that as well.

No way, hands down this is the best. This is my favourite tool for creating and restoring images.

If free and very nice and easy to use.
I setup 2 PC's with the same guts inside, and just created one images for both PC's. Whenever i need to re-image one of them, 10 minutes and im back to a fresh image.

Also has chrome on it, so you can surf the web while you wait.

Check it out.

If you happen to have a Seagate drive, Seagate's Disk Wizard is a mini-version of Acronis True image. It will only work with a Seagate drive in the system.

Try all the free tools, and test them. Pick the one that you like the best, and the one that worked the best for your needs. Remember, if you have not tested the reinstall, you haven't tested the software.
