acronis & pgp wde by Chris[_3_]
I want to start using PGP WDE but wanted to see if anyone has experienced any problems restoring an acronis home edition 11 image back to the same drive?

Samsung ES Tool warning by Mike Ruskai
I thought I'd pass along the fruits of an unpleasant learning experience. Over the years, I've used many manufacturer-supplied diagnostic programs. None of them were destructive, whether from WD, IBM, Maxtor, etc. The Samsung offering - called ES Tool - has broken from that tradition. Thinking...

migration back to non-RAID configuration from an INTEL RAID 5 by [email protected]
Hi all, I got 3 SATA WDC HD's coming from a Intel RAID 5 (matrix Storage) . I suppose that the RAID was not dismantled before taking the disks off. Now I would like to use them for an ordinary non-RAID configuration and I do _NOT_ need to backup the data. I just want to format them and put them...

Speed of an IDE drive in a USB enclosure ? by [email protected]
Hi, I used an old 40Gb IDE laptop drive in a USB enclosure to store Ghost images. When I'm restoring an image with this drive connected to a USB 2.0 port, I'm only getting 150Mb /s transfer rate. Is this the normal speed for such a setup ? It seems rather slow to me.

XP NTFS Index File System polluted? by Huh

Best Backup Software by [email protected]
I've tried almost a dozen so far, most in the $39 range. All had issues. What I'm after is on-the-fly backup software that instantly backs up files as soon as they are modified or created. That's it. 99.9% of backup software is time triggered which is pretty damn lame. Anyone know of any backup...
