I have a trial copy of Casper 4 (didn't know it was up to 5 already), and
may give it another shot with my new setup (when it arrives), although TI
has been working pretty well for me. Admitedly the Smart Clone feature
sounds pretty good, though.

Bill, you mentioned a discussion with Anna, and that reminded me of an
earlier exchange I had on this group about backup software. I was
looking for a backup method for my system and Anna came to my rescue.
She recommended Casper 4 (now Casper 5) as a good/easy to use method for
making backups. Well, the long and short of this exchange resulted in
my using a 500 GB external USB connected hard drive for my backup
location (under $100) and Casper 4 software for making my backups ($50
+/-). I have been extremely happy with this setup and thought I would
identify Casper 5 as a good method for backing up a system. You can
read more about this software package here:

And I would rather it would NOT be hidden (as I've also been discussing

Anna), since I want to know exactly what is there and have at least some
access to it via explorer (just as you can with the alternate drive
backups). But since I can't, I haven't used it (as of yet).
Which reminds me: It sounds like you have used it, John (the Secure
Zone),
so is there anyway to give those Secure Zone backup images at least some
brief description, or meaningful filenames, so you can readily identify
them? I mean when you don't use the Secure Zone, of course you are
able
to type in a brief description for the backup image before it is written,
and a filename, which are very helpful. I don't know if you can do
either
of those by using the Secure Zone (I read the filename was autogenerated,
for instance, and I don't know if a description is allowed before
creating
the image - AND is viewable afterwards should you want to decide which
image
to restore).

Yes Bill it can be deleted from within Acronis. As for 'unfortunately'

is
unfortunate that it is visible in a third party partitioning application

it.
It
would much rather it be 'hidden' in all applications.

(including
all the trial software) then remove the trial software and any other
applications you don't want and image your drive/partition using
Acronis
True Image. If you then experience any problems you just re-image the
Acronis image back to the drive/partition.
Acronis can actually create a 'secure' partition for you to back up
to.
This
doesn't show up in windows disk management, so it can't be deleted by
a
third party. Unfortunately, though, it does show up,
and can be deleted, if you have third party partitioning softwareOR it can be deleted from within Acronis, of course.

Hello,
Our company uses HP and Dell workstations w/XP pro.
If system crash then we can restore back with disk image.
But their disk image come with a lot of trial software,I have to
remove
them
one by one.
Can I have a clean install then create my own disk image?
If the system crash again then I can restore back without trial
software.
Thanks
