If you want an straight forward Windows based backup application that
connects to the one-touch button on mass produced external USB hard drives,
"Retrospect" seems to be bundled with most of those external drives. But
that is backup software, not hard drive imaging/cloning software which I
think you are looking for ("backup" software does not equal "imaging"
software).
As said, pretty barebones MyBook--surprised they even bothered to put it
in a box. But hey for 80 bux who's whining.
And as also said, if backing up a win box was as simple as it was for a
miggy, I wouldn't need imaging software--just compress/copy elsewhere
would do the trick. But having a copy of the installed software ain't
the same as having the installed software with all its requisite
registry keys and assorted win dross.
As suggested in a previous post you may want to investigate Acronis
TrueImage. IMO much better than Ghost and runs on Win and Linux (best to run
from Linux boot disk to image your hard drives). Personal and administrator
and enterprise editions available.
Like it. I believe the Home edition of TrueImage will work a treat.
Thanx silvio for the reminder.
Best for the holidaze,
