    Acronis Drive Image vs. Ghost?

    realblackstuff has recommended Acronis drive image. I certainly trust his judgement, but I was wondering if anyone else has an opinon on the two applications. Which one is better?

    My environment is two networked (D-Link cable/DSL router) computers running XP Pro. My naim objective with the imaging software is full system backups/disaster recovery.

    Thanks

    Mikesco - yes, you'll need the dos drivers for you NIC if you plan to create a boot disc. If you own a license for Ghost Console though, then you won't. All you have to do is install the ghost client onto the machine you want to ghost then initiate the capture through the console on the Ghost Server. It will create a virtual boot partition on reboot and will automatically connect to the ghost server. FYI - you can also do this to ghost many machines simultaneously, but I've seen problems bouncing across routers if multicast isn't working perfectly.
