I made back up with ghost and after few month I couldn't boot. I used again
ghost to load drive back up. It took me than minutes or less to load
complete hard drive (10Gb)

I'm trying to get set up so I can do complete backups of computers
of
my clients. I have a Kanguru 120 gig external drive with multiple
interface cables. I can plug in (right now) with either USB or
parallel cables. I can get cables for firewire if I need.

Can some of you tell me what backup software you prefer for making a
complete backup? I need to be able to plug my external drive
directly
into the computer and do an image backup. I'd rather not have to
pull
their drive to do this. I'm working with computers ranging from
Win98
up to XP.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

I use Norton Ghost to do what you just described and works very well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've had some problems with Norton
products in the past, so was trying to avoid them. However, you're
the second person who's suggested Ghost. I've already been to their
site to check out the specs. It's good to hear from other users about
what works for them.

I'm with you about Norton they pretty much suck! I've had nothing but
problems with them and have stopped using anything made by Symantec
except
for Ghost. I haven't had any problems with it at all and am almost sorry
to
say that I really like it. If there was anything out there I liked as
much
or even better I would be using it.

Thanks for your recommendation. I've used Norton Utilities for many,
many years. Then Anti-Virus. However, it seems that the Norton line
began to deteriorate when Symantec bought out Peter Norton. I've even
moved to the Fix-It utilities from V-Com. It seems Symantec is trying
to be all things to all people and failing at that.

Anyway, I'll give Ghost a try. I've been checking out several other
backup options, but haven't found anything else yet that really seems
to fit the bill.
