Malcolm, Acronis is slimmer in disk storage and I like the interface. Norton Ghost needs the .NET framework loaded to run - talk about bloatware. The disk imaging used in Norton uses the Windows Shadow copy procedure and is quite slick as you can image a "live" running disk but only to a local hard disk or DVD or (if you are brave) another IP device.
Personally I prefer the Acronis software as it has many more options to copy to/from and a more professional interface. Of them all however I prefer the original Norton Ghost which ran off a single 1.44Mb floppy to clone full drives.

Acronis (www.acronis.com) has a variety of imaging applications that look good. There's also Norton Ghost which I used years ago ... but I've heard mixed reviews regarding recent versions of this product. And I have not had good customer service experiences with Symantec products. Suggestions? Thanks!
