I have been using ghost 9, then went to save and restore 1, and got upgraded to save and restore 2 due to a license problem so the Symantec rep upgraded me for free. I like all the versions, but more so save and restore 2. All the restores I have done have gone well, and I have also use the file restore feature to restore individual files. Save and restore 1 and 2 have the ability to mount a restore point to a virtual drive so you can restore files easier, or run files off of them like they were a regular hard drive. You can also add files to the virtual volume drive, but when you dismount the volume the files added to it are not saved.
I have not tried anything else for disk imaging, but do use syncback and second copy for file to file copy. All work great. Do you have a link for the drive image xml because I would like to test that out and see how well it works.

I've recently been having some issues with my test machine so decided to restore a previous image. Ghost told me that all three of my latest images were corrupt which rather surprised me. I decided that it was probably time I re-built the system anyway as it had become quite cluttered so did so. I have just tried to install Ghost and found that it won't run setup for some reason. I decided to investigate upgrading Ghost or going for Acronis True Image 11 Home. The reviews for both on Amazon are pretty mixed ranging from excellent to rubbish, there doesn't seem to be a happy medium. As a stop gap I am using DriveImageXML which is an open source product; I've never had to recover a disc in anger but it seems to work OK. Question - what does the team think of Acronis or Ghost? Should I carry on with DriveImageXML? I am running a bog standard XP Pro OS but intend to make it dual boot with Ubuntu 7.1, but not until I have a good disc image for if (when?) I mess it up <g>. Any comments gratefully received.
