[Ham-Computers] Backup Software Suggestions Needed

[Jim Hill]

Hi Paul:
Don't have your email address.

I have a copy of Dantz, which you sent me long ago.  I couldn't get 
it to work properly, but still have the CD and can return it.  I 
ended up purchasing  Terabyte Image for Windows - DOS - Linux, a 
plain Jane application which works fine.  I have Norton Ghost 10 on 
another computer.  It has plenty of bells and whistles, such as being 
able to go to an image file, display the tree, go to a particular 
file, display it (and probably copy it), all without actually 
restoring to that image.  The minuses are mainly company policies - 
they no longer support Ghost 10 being a big reason, their manual is 
pretty sparse and I think they charge for overseas tech support.
