hi, guys... i saw the "How to make a recovery disk?" thread, but i decided to post here a questions that i have, becouse it is more of a "which one to pick question" then the basic step-by-step walk-through:
i was checking out a site that compares different softwares about different things and for now i have stopped to "Acronis True Image" , "norton ghost" and "PC Backup". that is bacouse the three of them have the ability to back up whole harddrv images... i need a software that will make an image of a whole partition, and i mean "whole", that is reg kyes, paths shortcuts, making the image like this, that when restored from it, the new system will be 1:1 to the real working system that it used to be. i need that image to be burned to dvds, i say DVDs becouse i have more then 5GB data to back up including OS, so i need something that will index my dvds, and make them act as parts of some archive, e.g. image.r01, image.r02, and so on depending on how big is the data on the given partition...they should be bootable, becouse if i screw up the whole drive, and i cannot get into windows...:), i would need the software to format the bad partition and autostart recover when i choose from bios "boot form CD". i need also to be able to update the image sequence (r01, r02 etc.) at anytime, dependless if files will be removed or added, for example if i decide to install a new program and i need it to be on the image also including all its shortcuts, paths, sysfiles and regkeys, (all that is needed to be fuctional) but i dont want to have to remake the whole image again, just update it with the new info, which it will take a lot less i think, then remaking the whole image. and whenever needed to delete files ...also without having to remake... well ...that is basicly all i need :))) if none of the above three softwares can do that, then you can tell me, what is the closest one to that of what i want so i can go with it:)))
10x a lot
