Re: Backing up

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You are beating a horse that is going no where. True Image "does not" allow
you to restore single files that are in use, either while booted up within
Windows, or while booted up from the T.I. recovery CD.

Ghost 9.0 does. All a person has to do is read the help that comes with
Ghost to find out how to do this.

Reading all of the True Image help available is not going to tell
people/users how to do what can not be done.

You were kind enough to do so, with a bit of prodding. In your initial post
to me you said it could be done, but didn't say how to do it.

I responded with "If you have found a way to do this, please post your
methodology here for everyone to see."

If you take offence at that remark you need to toughen up a bit!
