an another vote for true image, IMO it the best backup prog for now.
the last good version of ghost was 2003, now it's not as impressive as
true image.
here is a good comparison of TI and ghost:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/drive-imaging-reviews.htm

That's a biased article, from a known dummy, contains errors and
misinformation and also smacks of the GE factory lighting study. I wouldn't
depend too heavily on it - even experienced Norton haters know better than
to refer to it because it's just inaccurate.

It's not really a case of which is better; it's more which one fits better
with how the user expects it to be operated. Personally I like Ghost 10
over TI, but others like TI over Ghost; it's a personal choice; there's no
difference in the usability/reliability of the two. And then if yhou're
more technically savvy, there is BootItNG, also good.
