Pre-review discussion of Backup Software
JeffK:
There are new updates (as of late March) on the Paragon site of some of their software (including Drive Backup). When I downloaded this update and ran it the scheduler seemed to work OK. But an incremental backup I created seemed to have an access problem. I shall try again tonight my time (I am GMT+10).
I did notice that the backup I created did not require a comuter reboot. I think this is part of the "Hot" function of the program. I think a change in partition size would still require a reboot but I'll check that out too.

doesn't the acronis program require a boot CD when restoring a system image mouser?
i'm sure i tried it and didn't use it any further because of the boot CD thing. but then i was sure i had tried everything and i obviously haven't (i'm beginning to doubt what i've done now :stars:).
mouser:
acronis might require a boot cd. i dont think it does, but it might, i don't remember.
i'm just pointing out it does incremental backup + scheduled backups.
ive never considered the boot cd issue.. i'll have to think about it before the review this week.
JeffK:
I tink Paragon would require a boot disk if you were restoring a dead system. However if you are overwriting the existing system with a backed up system I'm not sure.
