Re: Casper XP's a winner



Timothy Daniels a émis l'idée suivante :
I've been playing with the downloadable free trial
version of Casper XP.  For my purposes - making
bootable backup clones of my WinXP system -
it works quite well.  Unlike Accronis True Image,
it can clone a single partition from one HD onto
unallocated space on another HD and keep the
clone the same size as the original (or some other
size if desired).  With True Image, the entire original
HD is copied to the entire destination HD.  And unlike
Partition Magic, it doesn't shift around the partitions
on the destination HD to compact them.  And unlike
Ghost 9.0 (and Drive Image 7.x), it doesn't need
.NET Framework to be installed.  The only drawback
that I've noticed is that it's not as fast as Ghost -
when Ghost worked on my machine.  But since Ghost
causes my machine to freeze, Casper XP is the only
game in town.  And it's not a bad game.  Check it out:

Thanks for the info.

Does the product allow to create a bootable CD from which it can be run as a stand alone backup/recovery tool ? I don't see any mention of this in the specs.

How does the speed compare to True Image ?

Do you know how well it handles disks containing IO errors ?
