Disk imaging GT editors choice.
Byline: Terry Relph-Knight
Once a very niche category, some of these disk-imaging products are now taking over more of the functions of traditional backup software. This means your choice will be determined very much by your specific needs for a feature or mix of features. For example, only the Paragon product runs under Windows 95. If you need to back up Windows 95 PCs, Paragon is your only choice in this group. Or if you want to back up your Outlook files separately, only Acronis True Image 10 Home offers a specific option to do this.
Also, for the four programs that do have built-in CD and DVD burning, each one varies in its list of supported CD and DVD writers -- be sure to check before you buy.
R-Tools' R-Drive Image 3.0 is low cost, very easy to use and has a very reasonable selection of features. On cost grounds, Runtime's Drive Image XML is unbeatable, because it's freeware. It's also very easy to use, but has limited features and no built-in facility to burn to CD or DVD. In an emergency when you don't have access to other backup software and need to image a partition, Drive Image XML will get you out of trouble at no cost.
