I tried True Image..cool soft ..

I plan to purchase copy of it
do I make a right assumption when it comes to restoring my whole system
from a backup image :

In case system failure:

1. Format hdd
2. Restore Windows from windows installation disc
3. Install True Image from any installation file that is backup-ed
4. Restore my previous settings (software installed, registries
everytging) running the backup restore file from my external HDD


Questions :

while I was running image file of my HDD ...the 7GB file was created in
12 minutes .. kinda short aint it ? I was using external HDD

True Image was performing backup while system was running ... How did
he expect to gain access to files being already in use ?
Symantec Ghost restarts the system and then performs backup in DOS mode
... this is understandable ...
Thanks


Nah, it's easier than that. Go through the steps to create an emergency
boot CD. Then you just boot the CD and restore to a blank hard drive.

12 minutes seems fast. Did you do a complete or incremental backup?
