What's better: DriveImage or Ghost?

[Mikal]

I've got an old version of Driveimage but it's time to get something much newer. What are the pros/cons of using newer versions of DI or Ghost? Can each program run from floppy or from a CD I burn myself? TIA!

I don?t know about drive image, but I know that ghost can boot of a cd or floppy.

Do a search in the software forum. There are bechmarks of the two somewhere with DI winning.

After Ghost saving my A** a number of times....I actually bought it 🙂

Great proggie.

I 've used both. I like Drive Image. It seems faster and more reliable for restores to different sized partitions.

I know that with Drive Image you can restore files without restoring the whole image and it only takes a click or two.

i like ghost cos it can compress data. my drive total data around 1.6 gig and it let me burn in one cd for back up entire hardrive C

DI does two levels of compression. 40% and 50%. The higher takes longer.

Anything by Powerquest is the best

How do you make a BOOTABLE CD with ghost back up...

I haven't tried Ghost, but I'm REALLY impressed with DI.

I prefer DI. But Ghost is quite good to.

All I did is save the image file directly to a cd instead of to a hard drive partition. Worked perfect, even with my sczi cdrw.

6 of one, half a dozen the other.

I'm going to buy Drive Image, thanks to Linux partition support.
