    disk cloning: Paragon or Ghost ?

    my dear disk cloners, which one do you use ? Ghost 12v or Paragon Drive Backup ?

    if you don't know what i'm talking about:
    one day when my hard drive goes belly, I don't want to waste 2 hours installing windows and all the other programs like EditPlus, PuTTy, Photoshop etc. all over again.
    the lazy man's solution is a disk clone.

      My girl turned me on to Ghost. I'm down to one Windows box, but I format and reGhost once a month on average.

      Spend you some brain.

          I've used both, I believe Paragon is faster but both are just as effecient and easy to use.

              Try Acronis True Image. I use version 10 but I belive version 11 is available now. Simple to use and works like a dream.

                              why would anyone want to erase source disk ? isn't that the opposite of the purpose of a disk backup ?

                                      Acronis true Image works like champ! Go with that and you won't be let down.

                                              I'm going against the grain here and saying +1 for a reinstall of applications then a restore of data... less chance of things fucking up. (In my case it's not even possible... my RAID driver will reboot endlessly if you restore system data)

                                                          it's only 50 bucks. Don't be a cheapo -- give them the money they deserve for a great product.

                                                                                  I know, that's exactly my point!!!!

                                                                                  Why would you ever do that!!!
