image software/tools

[juke]

Hey,

I'm bicurious about what tools folk use to image their OS's's's's.

Prefer free tools as I don't plan on spending cash and am not a fan of cracked software (these days...).

ShadowProtect definitely
you get a 30 day free trial license, but you can use that to create a ShadowProtect RE cd (recovery environment)

this is a bootable CD that can quickly backup+restore to network/usb/local disk targets. + has a bunch of other handy tools such as boot.ini (winXP) / BCD (win7) fixer & other shit

you can also 'quickmount' an image from a USB disk, which makes it show up as another external harddrive, then just copy out any files etc you want

IT Edition, SP HIR is awsum, lets you backup PC x and Restore without drivers onto a another PC, it best matches the drivers and de-registers windows for you.

Have SP Backup
MOBO Dies / machine stolen / whatever
Restore SP backup with HIR to new hardware
Install Drivers
BACK IN ACTION so quick....
(Or Restore to VM)


For a "Free" backup app I like DRIVEXML. ShadowProtect ain't free past 30 day trial

MSPaint the tool of a true artist. Use it almost every day, since windows 3.11 to make the world a better place. (well to capture the screens of my crashed applications, beyond that it got not a lot going for it except the price)
