Hi to all.
Back in the "old" days, norton ghost would create a bootable CD that would simply image a drive/partition to another drive, partition or CD/DVD.
It made recovering a system utter childs play.
I've just tried the v15 System recovery disk and it seems it no longer supports that feature without using (IMHO) pointless windows restore points.
I have a CRITICAL back up job that i need to get right first time and i'm not sure Ghost will do it as it used to .There are NO restore points as they must be turned off, as must auto updates etc, so what i want is a byte-byte copy of the HD in the machine that i can archive and use to restore the HD when the HD in the machines fail, which is going to happen in the next 18 months as they are now 5 years old.
The OS is Win7 x64.
Is this the case, do i need to move to something like Acronis or can i stick with what i have been familiar with for the past 13 years.
Any input gratefully apprecated...
