That's exactly the reverse of my experience! I've had a few situations
where Ghost simply wouldn't work (i.e. couldn't read the drives & I
couldn't find the drivers to make it work). For me, Acronis has worked
in every one of these situations where Ghost failed. So much so that I
filed my Ghost CD and never use it anymore. Only hitch was once I did
have one setup where the HDs got botched up & to restore it, I had to
use my "home" CD to boot the computer (which apparently is newer & has
more drivers than my corporate one). I especially like Acronis' ability
to backup/restore to/from a network, USB or Firewire drive, in addition
to any SATA or IDE drives attached to the machine. My experiences with
above are limited to Windows servers & desktops... plus you can schedule
it to run full or partial drive image backups while Windows is running.
Just set a schedule & you'll always have a recent copy ready.

I have used Acronis and I love it's gui and for certain things but I have
had a few problems with it. I clone a lot of drives and the simplest and
most bulletproof is Symantec Ghost, never fails - Windows server,
workstation or Linux.
