Reading the forum indicates it does not let you restore images onto smaller
drives like some other apps do. My fav is Acronis True Image Home. Really
a sweet app. It finds the network and lets me put/get images from shares
on other windows boxes.

I dabbled with Ghost in years past at work and found it to be a pain
in the a$$. Recently I sensed my C-drive was heading south, so I
picked up Acronis True Image, installed and ran it. A couple of days
later, the drive went platter up, so I swapped in the imaged disk, and
voila, it was as if nothing happened. Acronis saved me hours or days
of rebuilding, reinstalling, and reconfiguring.

On the other hand, I always cringe at having to pay $50 for the
windows version of dd.

Hi Kim,
Acronis True Image 10
and Paragon Drive Back Up 8.5

Both are reliable and easy to use. Paragon has better hard drive
controller support on the newer Intel motherboards when using their
recovery boot disk CD.

I've used it a bunch. It's free. Set's up easily and works as advertised.
It's alot like an old version of ghost. Basically you set up the server
on one of your machines, and boot the client disk on the machine to be 'ghosted'
