Being able to restore to a different hardware configuration would be very handy. We had a machine whose motherboard failed recently, I wasn't confident enough to just put the hard drive in another computer and boot it (although we did have a ghosted copy of it). So we have just replaced the machine and installed everything back onto it (it's one way of tidying a machine up anyway).

You'd probably have to re-activate windows and is probably against their license agreement in some way (which I should read one day) - replacing the entire computer and "ghosting" the system back onto it.

What's the story with the "HAL-tweek"? (Hardware Abstraction Layer?)

The comment made with regards to True Image was that it could
effectively replace the above during a drive restore, meaning you
could snapshot the drive on hardware X and safely restore it on
hardware Y without things bombing due to hardware differences.

Very appealing concept, since sometimes more than just a drive can be
toasted.

cheers,
peter
