Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Disk Imaging/Cloning Software Dear Forum Members I would like to purchase (or obtain a free app) of an imaging or cloning software I can use to create a CD/DVD image of my C:\ drive. Now, I have used Norton Ghost v14 in the past and read the NGv15 manual, and quite frankly NG is far too overblown and complicated for what I actually want to do, which is either to create an image of or clone my HD. Barring Norton Ghost, is there anyone out there that uses and can recommend a particular brand of imaging or cloning software? BTW, my computer is as follows: O/S WinXP Pro SP3 CPU Intel i3 (dual core) Memory 4GB Ram 2 x 640GB HD (both C:\ & D:\ sata drives) Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Motherboard UK Bob  |

| you want to create an image of a freaking 640GB drive? for creating images I highly suggest doing so just after one has done a clean install of the OS and has just completed installing and configuring all necessary programs and such...at that point there is no data to deal with so the amount of space taken up is at a minimum... to be honest, I have played with the idea of making an image of a fresh install but have never taken the step to actually do it so I can be of no help with suggesting a good application for such an endeavor...

| Hi Peerless Cheers for your reply and here's the answer to your first question. You said: Quote:
I would expect that the imaging/cloning software would not image/clone blank spaces, perform a certain amount of data compression and have the ability to boot my PC and format a new blank disk. The other features I would expect from the software is clone all working features, settings and apps, including my O/S, so that when and if my C:\ drive fails I can replace it with a new HD, of the same spec, size and make, and put that working cloned image onto the new disk. Now, you must admit, I'm not asking for (too) much, just something that can clone my main drive. UK Bob |

| I've heard good things about Acronis TrueImage Complete hard disk recovery solution, backup, drive copy, clone and image computer software Never used it myself though, so it's just hearsay. |

| 29.5GB is just fine and dandy...for a second there I had seriously thought you wanted to image hundreds of GB of data and such! no, imaging software does not copy the blank space...

| I'd have thought an external HDD would be the way to go to store such backup rather than DVD's. Then it's all compact in one location. I use 1 & 2 TB external drives, but the ones below 1 TB in size are quite cheap nowadays. As the newer larger external drives go up in size, the smaller ones go down in price. Some of these external HDD's come with their own backup software. I've no idea how good they are though. Apple uses a system/program called Time Machine that comes with the system. In some ways similar to Windows restore backup system I guess, but is an actual backup program for external backup devices. Time Machine works well except when you have multiple accounts on the computer, then permissions get complicated (& problematic.) |

| Acronis TrueImage is the way to go. I've used it and it's awesome. I replaced the 80gig C drive that came with my HP with a 160 gig WD. I had no XP disc so I felt this was my only option. After all said and done, everything was exactly as it was before. I was amazed and totally thrilled after fretting over it for some time. I Highly recommend Acronis  Edit: As far as externals go, I bought a 60gig portable only for the sake of backing up or cloning my C drive. Thats the Only thing on it and I don't use it for anything else. They're dirt cheap, so why not. I wouldn't dare back it up to any of my other externals that I use for media. 1 - 1 TB Free Agent Seagate 1 - 1.5 TB Free Agent Seagate 1 - 2 TB Free Agent Seagate

 I should use them in proper stands I guess. But for the short periods I use them didn't bother. At least 'some' of the data already on the drive was backed up elsewhere same or different generation backup. I've always used Lacie. I believe they use various brands of actual drives.Edit: I connect them using Firewire 800 on the intel Mac, Firewire 400 on the G4's. So transfer is reasonably fast. Firewire 400 is little faster than USB2 (in practice about 50% faster), & FW800 twice as fast as FW400. The new Firewire looks good, even faster than the new USB3. Now called Thunderbolt. Quote from Apple Website: "Thunderbolt pipeline is more than 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0" Last edited by Lord of the Rings; August 21st, 2011 at 04:42 PM.

| Hi guys Thanks for your advice, I just want a few bits of info: Remoc What version of Acronis TrueImage are you using? You see, I have been through the AT2011 manual and the product seems too overblown for what am I trying to do. LOTR You know, I always thought that using an external for back-ups only was a bit wasteful, however you may be right and I should take another look at what I am trying preserve should the inevitable happen. At the moment, I have, but not installed yet, Acronis True Image WD (Western Digital) Edition, which I downloaded from the Western Digital web site. I believe that this version of Acronis corresponds to the 2009 version. Now, I don't know if I am going to use it yet but I intend to go through the manual again, just to see if I have missed anything. However, on my first browse through I got the impression that this software cannot burn back-ups directly to recordable CD\DVDs, i.e. it's a two step process, first to the hard drive, and then from the hard drive to recordable CD\DVDs. I'll let you guys know how I get on. UK Bob |
