Backup with Ghost 14 without Install
Booting off of Ghost 14 CD to backup disk image to net drive, flash drive or external hard drive.
Restoring the disk is just as simple unless you want to restore from a network disk because you need to find the network adapter driver. Will have a video on that later.
Complete Backup by Imaging
My favorite backups are disk images. By taking a complete image of your hard drive you can be sure all your data and programs are saved.
The downside is you need a lot of storage to keep these images. Since hard drives are relatively inexpensive get an external hard drive to keep your backup images.
- Ghost 14 – from Symantec is the one I use the most even though there seem to be a lot of preferred options to Ghost from Symantec.
- True Image – from Acronis seems to be the preferred program and tool for imaging disks.
- Reflect – from Macrium has a free edition that is good but doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the other two.
Ghost and True Image are a very good value for well under $100. The most expensive part of any backup scheme is the storage. Get your hard drive, download the software and get backed up!
