Acronis True Image 11 or Norton Ghost 12.0?

nighthawk3001 · 05-14-2009, 08:30 AM

Its been a long time since I have made a backup of a system. I have used earlier versions of ghost before.

Which program would be better to backup Windows Server 2003, Acronis True Image 11 or Norton Ghost 12?

Acronis 11 is not a buisness product, you are looking for the Echo line.

Unless they made Ghost bare metal, its kinda usless. Acronis Echo is bare metal.

I've been hearing some mixed signals about both Acronis and Ghost. Some are saying that Ghost isn't good for backups in terms of imaging and others have also said to avoid Acronis with your life. Any clarification about this or other suggestions for other products free or paid?

I'm a happy user of acronis combined with drivermax.

If some drivers is need to make a LAN boot you can write to Acronis and they will get back to you within few days.
