#Norton ghost vs acronis software

Earlier I mentioned I put on a scratch copy of Win7 as a belt and suspenders move. I ran the installer disk from MSI for the Lan. In my home network workgroup I saw some things not on the homenet. While running on the MSI 880gm I ran the Bootrec commands which allowed for I realize there are a couple of variables involved.Įverything is back on and my DVD drives are not dead. Next attempt I am going to revert to Norton simply because it continues to provideĪ decent result. Not on the backup system I have- one of several.įor me these are AOMEI inconsistencies- like the screen saver 'feature' (not a bug.) This Seagate needs to be where I put it and Low Level Format again for a clean slate. Since I cannot get to the Bootrec fixes, I may run the Something is in conflict on thatħ60gm booting the Seagate. Just out of curiosity I plugged this Seagate AOMEI clone into my older MSIīoard- just a couple steps older: an 880gm rather than the 760gma E41 where the I just set that problem aside for the moment (power supply, old MSI board SATA connects etc.) I couldn't setup any of my dvd players to get the repair disk to run. I thought it might be an MBR problem so I got out the repairĬd to run the Bootrec fixboot and bootrec fix MBR. I had to remember to spacebar theīut on the target PC the new AOMEI clone would not boot up for anything.

This is good to know for anyone else using it.ĪOMEI said the copy completed successfully. The program engages a screen saver on its own and I thought I had a power failure. Today I have a few magical problems- and not in a good way. I will certainly look into that one for this thread. That way your backup target is not in use and there is no risk in taking care of rewritten sectors. You simply have to use Acronis True Image booting from a CD or an USB stick. When doing a tape backup you can't afford rewinding to overwrite some newly written sectors. Former versions of Acronis supported tape backup. That will work fine unless you are not too active during the backup process.

If the filter driver is to write sectors that have already been backed up, True image will have to back them up again. They start duplicating for instance a mounted partition like an OS partition.

But I somehow have more trust in the old program.įirst of all Acronis is a company name and not just one software label!Īcronis True Image is hooking the disc driver by installing a thing called 'filter driver' I think. I have installed AOMEI and it functioned without error for a couple tests.

What I don't understand is how the Master can can write to the Slave HD while booted up. The disk based software addresses one hd then the other. Old style removable disk-based tools such as the Norton Ghost 11.5 I have always used. My question on this is about current generation clone tools such as AOMEI or Acronis vs
