free backup software

2526 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Midnight Tech
does anyone know where i can get my hands on a free utility that will allow me to make a backup cd?
i need one that will install quickly onto a reformatted hard disk....

i reinstall often for good performance...

i have tried many many of them, but they all need me to install windows at least to a blank running state before they will restore....

i dont want to do that...
it's a bunch of bull...

and windows backup is a joke..
and so is retrospect...

Hi bob,

What about nortan gohst, then all you need to do is install your o/s and drivers config it then gohst it. then next time you format ya copmy you just copy the gohsted image back onto your compy and it will be back to a fresh install without you having to mess about.
norton is free?

well, maybe you could link me to the site that i can get a free copy of norton from, LOL

as i specified i want it to be free, or i wont get it. i wont pay for software, i refuse to.

the software giants cannot say i am one of their "software BI***"

anyway, if someone could point me to a site that has free backup utilities that you have used, and know that they work the way i need, i would be their best friend..

oh come now bob, im sure you can find a site to get it from, or heaven forbid buyit copy it and take it back if your that desparate,

I DO NOT CONDONE THIS TYPE OF ACTION

anywayz a free peice of software is not going to be as good as a peice developed for commercial release.

have you tryed some off of
www.download.com

bvut if you dont want to pay then you may have to make do with crappy progs.
hehe

yeah, i dont condone it either... (not out loud anyways) but i am not looking to add more illeagal software to my collection, i am looking for a freeware backup program, and the only ones i have managed to find that were free, you can only use it on a machine that is up and running with windows on it.....

i do not want to have to reinstall everytime i want to put a backup on my machine....

i used dos, and burned an exact replica of my hard disk, but i doubt that xcopy is going to be able to restore it correctly.....

i will be trying it on my next reinstall...... about two days from now.....
