![]() Hi guys Thanks for your advice, I just want a few bits of info: Remoc What version of Acronis TrueImage are you using? You see, I have been through the AT2011 manual and the product seems too overblown for what am I trying to do. LOTR You know, I always thought that using an external for back-ups only was a bit wasteful, however you may be right and I should take another look at what I am trying preserve should the inevitable happen. At the moment, I have, but not installed yet, Acronis True Image WD (Western Digital) Edition, which I downloaded from the Western Digital web site. I believe that this version of Acronis corresponds to the 2009 version. Now, I don't know if I am going to use it yet but I intend to go through the manual again, just to see if I have missed anything. However, on my first browse through I got the impression that this software cannot burn back-ups directly to recordable CD\DVDs, i.e. it's a two step process, first to the hard drive, and then from the hard drive to recordable CD\DVDs. I'll let you guys know how I get on. UK Bob |

![]() Hi guys Once again I must thank all of you for your advice and experience, things are definitely becoming a little more clearer. OK, the overwhelming consensus seems to be "stick with creating an image on an external drive", therefore this will be the way to go. Plus, I am not that bull headed that I cannot recognise good advice when I get it. N2 I have used Norton Ghost before, both 2009 and V14, but now V15 seems overblown. You know, every year manufacturers of windows apps have to make their products more complex, add useless facilities while doing away with or making useful facilities harder to find. And I have just about had enough of this nonsense, that's why I won't touch NG15 or Acronis TrueImage 2011, I just want something I can use without having to worry about bloated windows apps slowing down, and possibly destabilising, my machine. Apart from that, and wanting something relatively simple, I think that the version of Acronis I have, which is not installed, may do the trick. I'll get back to you guys by Saturday or Sunday. UK Bob |
