I have used Ghost for sometime and it has worked to restore the image to the
old drive which has four partitions, and also used the image to upgrade to a
larger HDD and it expanded the four partitions on the new drive.

Reading a couple of forums, they seem to say that with True Image, as long
as you are restoring to the original drive, no problem, but it will not
restore the image to a new HDD.

Any help with this,  Is it worth getting True Image or stick with Ghost. I
use Retrospect for daily backups.

thanks
Bob

In the Acronis True Image forum, lots  of folkes are reporting problems with
Acronis 9. They suggest sticking with True  Imafe 8 until the problems are
ironed out.

I've never used either Ghost or True Image, but last week, I ordered Ghost
10 from www.buy.com , FREE AFTER REBATES. That offer ends, I believe, TODAY.

The FREE after rebates deal ended yesterday at www.buy.com.

If course, such deals pop up periodically at various places.
