cloning softwear

[jeremyboycool]

I need a good program to back via hard drive cloning. Any suggestions?

Acronis True Image is a popular one.

Ya I was looking at that one only 50 bucks seems like a good deal. Have you used it? Does it work well? What I want is to be able to just swap hard drives if this one crashes so we don't lose time.

I bought Acronis' TrueImage10. What a fiasco. It cloned my 30GB laptop HD to an external 80GB USB drive, but after I installed a new 120GB HD, it would not recognize the external HD where the data was stored/cloned. I had to re-install my original 30GB HD and I'm still looking for software. The folks at Acronis did not understand that their software would not "see" my external. Lowest level tech I have ever dealt with. Tom
