Was testing hard disk backup softwares, was in need of a s/w that work for a 'very lazy guy' lol
I mean take full backup of HDD as image in mutiple DVD with auto-split the files
I tried Norton Ghost 8.02, 9 , 10 and 2003 and tries Acronis True Image too. Gonna try Driveimage XML but thats only for XP and Win 2K3 rt ?
From googling and from reviews majority says Ghost is considered as one of the successful products of Symantec and it is a pretty good software. But when I tried I couldn't find these
1. How to make a bootable media - CD /DVD using Ghost - mainly for lappy as it has no floppy drive ? True Image has that option, just click a button to make bootable CD /DVD
2. How to take complete backup images to CD / DVD with auto-split files. While using Acronis True Image, it is possible to take complete backup of HDD to DVD, the s/w will do auto-split of files and when it complete burning one DVD it will ask for next and so on. But in Ghost (complete backup to another HDD is possible, I saw that) I couldn't see that option, I mean I could select all partitions in one HDD and when I tried to burn it to DVD it burns like only one partition backup per DVD
Sorry, If you are confused. Lil more explanation
I have 10 partitions for my HDD. C, D, E etc. When I used True Image, It burns continuously, took 5 DVD for 10 partitions. But in Ghost it is taking like one DVD for C , another for D etc eventhough there is plenty of space in the DVD. Anything like a continuous option like True Image so that I don't need 10 DVD for 10 partitions ?
One more qn
I have a multi boot PC. One has 4 OS in that, that is Win 98, Win 2K, Win XP and Linux. Which is better for such a situation ?Ghost / True Image or Driveimage XML ?
It will be great if you share your experience and suggest the best option. I have gone through lot of reviews but need some comments based on experience
Thanks a lot - in advance
