Disk cloning software

I am looking for a Norton-Ghost-like software, preferably free (if it isn't free and it's good, by all means, suggest it.) Any ideas?

*nix utility for copying data between devices (well, or between files and devices, but this is *nix we're talking about, so...). Works pretty well as i recall - i remember using it to make and restore floppy images (for Win95 none the less) back in the day. And there's nothing like being able to dump a boot sector to a file and use your favorite hex editor to modify it... ;) [Edit: but yeah, it's not really in the same class as Ghost. ]

Ah ok I see... I guess I am a little rusty on my *nix experience (which was very very very very little anyway!) :)

There used to be DriveImage, but PowerQuest was bought out. I've heard of CloneDisk, but I've never used it. All-in-all,
ddisn't that bad of a choice if you feel like booting from a live Unix/Linux CD to do the dirty work. Jeremy Falcon -

Acronis Disk Director and Acronis True Image. Server licensing is steep as all get out but their desktop stuff is affordable and will pay for itself rather quickly.

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog[^]CPhog. The act of using CPhog (Firefox)[^] alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog (Firefox)[^] and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

I have to agree with code-frog about Acronis True Image. I consider it one of the best software products I have ever used. Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

dd is a Unix/Linux tool that copies raw data from files or disks or other block-type devices. I've used it to clone disks before, and it works pretty well, but is pretty basic. It wasn't really a serious recommendation ;)

Yeah, I was looking at its site earlier. Is it really good? $49 is not a lot of money. Thanks!

Of the products out there I think it's the best. I've used it and Norton Ghost. Norton Ghost was terrible and flaky. Acronis has great USB storage support and should handle (with ease) any configuration you have. I've spent about $3000 with them so $49 doesn't make me pause for thought. I think it's a good buy. If you get it and don't like it let me know. I'll buy your copy from you. I can use it immediately. - Rex

Don't worry. From your words, I will not want to sell it :) I will take a look into it tomorrow morning. Now I am off to bed! Good night! :)

Try SystemRescueCD[^], it contains Partimage[^] which is meant to be quite a good freeware Ghost replacement. I have downloaded it and burnt it to CD, later tonight I will be trying it out by imaging a Ubuntu Linux box to an external USB FAT32 200GB drive.

By Norton no less I seem to remember. Guess the inevitability: PQDI -> Ghost...
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9

I ordered it from www.NewEgg.com[^] last week for $29, they offer either download or CD version for the same price. Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes Know someone who desperately needs to get a clue? Visit www.DownloadAClue.com and send them one!
