| Howie, Do you know if TI6 works with external USB Zip drives or USB ext. Hard drives? Also, is the trial version fully functional?

| I have personally used it to back up to a IEEE1394 (FireWire) external hard drive and it worked fine.
The following info is from the TrueImage website:
Supported storage devices (disk image destinations):
hard disk drives
network drives
CD-R(W)
DVD-R(W), DVD+R(W)*
ZIP®, Jazz® and other removable media
IDE, SCSI, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), USB 1.0 / 2.0, PC card storage devices.
* — requires third-party DVD recording software installed.
Trial-version limitations:
15 days trial version
Impossibility to create and restore a disk image when Acronis True Image 6.0 is launched from the bootable rescue media
If you have Ghost, you can get TI6 for $9.99:

Give it a try Emilio, you'll like it It also plays very well with Goback compared to others. You don't have to disable Goback to make an image, only when restoring.

Howie,
You say that you have backed up your hard drive with TrueImage to an external firewire hard drive. I am curious--have you ever **restored** your hard drive from the TrueImage image stored on the external firewire hard drive. For some programs, backing up to an external drive works fine; restoring from the external drive seems to be the problem.
BTW, I use TrueImage and back up to a second partition of my hard drive and from there to a CD-R. I like the program a lot.
Thanks,
Bob Anderson |

| Bob, I have not had the occasion to try a TI restore yet from a FireWire external drive. I recommended TI to a friend and imaged his C:\ drive to his external IEEE1394 drive without a problem. I assumed if it imaged without errors that a restore would not be a problem. Time will tell, I guess. I use two additional IDE hard drives (E:\ and F:\) to back up my C:\ and D:\ drives and split the images into 700MB files so I can copy them to CD-R/CD-RW if I need to (see above). I have used TI to restore entire drives several times and it's been problem-free.

Hi, Modred.
I know you didn't ask me specifically, but I routinely use TI to image my hard drive to an external firewire hard drive, and have had to restore from the external drive once. It took about forty-five minutes to do, but I experienced absolutely no problems during the restore process. |

| Thanks Howie and Ptolemy,
I have two close friends where backing up to CD-R's is not feasible, and they currently have no backup of their hard drives. I was going to recommend TrueImage and a Maxtor external hard drive with a USB 2 connection, and I just wanted to make sure that restoring from the external hard drive worked OK. I guess they could also purchase DVD burners or an internal hard drive, but right now the external hard drive seems the best choice.
Thanks again.

Emilio, it has been some time now since I first installed TI using the ghost thingee to purchase it cheap! I think you will have to uninstall the trial version...make sure ghost is ON your hdd...then load up the purchased ver of TI. After you've got it up and running, you can delete/uninstall the ghost proggie. However, if there ever comes a time you have to reinstall TI from scratch, it will NOT install unless ghost is present. Have tried that and it will give you an error. FWIW.

I just restored my C drive from an external USB 2 harddisk (Maxtor), using TrueImage (build 345) running from its bootable floppies (TI uses then its own Linux kernel). No problem! |

| Jrb,
Thanks for the info--for me it answers an important question.
Best wishes,
Bob Anderson |
