subject: Re: Acronis True Image

From: "Frank Haber" 

I think Acronis users need two products to 1. clone, with expansion to a
bigger new drive.  2. do full partition management.

I've used a client's Acronis 7.something, and it worked 4 times and failed once.

Ghost 9 feels cobbled together.  Ghost 2003, which I also own, fails
>200G, on SATA, etc.

The drive mfrs free cloners, the ones you get with a retail drive, mostly
work, but I've had to run the target on a 40-pin cable in a couple of
instances to get a reliable image.  There are noises off of SATA trouble
there, too.

I think the situtation is, uh, fluid.  Don't expect the brick *house
reliability we used to enjoy in the PM 3-5 days (after we waited for the
.01 upgrade to fix the bugs).
