Re: Ghost 10 sucks for drive cloning....

Ok so Casper looks good. But, it does not have the option to save an image file to a folder on, for example, an external drive used to store running backups. Drive Image does this, but as I said I've had similar problems as those posted in this thread. Is there another disk imaging tool (besides ghost) that will do this?


An image is not a clone. Caxper XP just clones. A good
imaging utility is Acronis's True Image. It makes an image file
which you can put on various removable media, and to create
a bootable OS from that, you have to do a "restore" - which is
in effect the reverse of "imaging". The advantage is that the
image file can be compressed and that it can reside on cheap
archival media - CDs and DVDs - or on an external USB drive.
The downside is the time to do the "restore".
