What do you use to backup the entire drive OS ???

[sportage]

Im also looking for something to backup the system drive, os and all, so I wont have to reinstall the os, then go thru all the tweaking. Something that backs up the system to a file on another drive. I have an old version of ghost but wanted something maybe better.

Symantec Ghost 9.x or Acronis True Image.

I use acronis true image, I also have my WHS box doing backups but haven't had to restore one of those yet. Have restored many TI images with great success.

What do I use? Windows Home Server. If I didn't have the WHS box, I'd be using True Image.

from another thread:

try SystemRescueCD. that's what i've been using for the past 9 months to backup my Windows partition.... no problems so far. it's free and it runs from its own bootable CD. check out the guide below to have an idea of how easy/hard it is.

Backup with SystemRescueCD

I've been using Macrium Reflect FREE version and it has been working flawlessly for me.

Norton Ghost from Norton System Work Pro 2003 edition (I think that is Ghost 9)

Windows Home Server. It backs up 3 PCs nightly, but I've already maxed out the 10 client limit for the rest of my PCs that do not run 24/7 in my house.
