But hey, a clone *is* a backup. It may take 6 or 7 hours. But
if you can depend on the process working by itself, all that
happens while you sleep.

I've got an 80G disk with about 50G on it. It takes a little over an
hour - but that's across IDE, not USB.


Does Ghost automatically reformat the target disk each time? Or
does it do a file add and replace by date? IOW, does it act in
any way like a backup program, or is it simply a cloner?

It's a cloner, but it will make an image file if you want.

I haven't seen Ghost 9 or 10, so I don't what they might do in
addition to doing their thing from Windows - no dropping to DOS. They
clone a live disk - something some think may be a little risky. I'll
only go to to 9 or 10 if I'm completely unable to get 2003 to do what
I want.

I use Ghost 9. It's a cloner, a copier, and a backup program. I use it to
clone my C: drive, and to backup all data on my D: drive to an external USB
drive. The backup program runs in the background, invisible, and does a full
backup every Monday at 8:00 AM, and daily incremental every 12 hours after
that. All those settings can be changed by the user.
