Drive image/restore recommendation. [modified]
-
I just spent the weekend installing XP + Vista + Vista x64 on a single drive (got multiboot working, yay!). But I don't want to go through this agony again should my system get nuked, so I'm looking for software that can create a disk image (including boot record), preferably using compression too so I can put it on a smaller disk. Any recommendations? EDIT: ordering acronis right now, the phone music is horrible!

Too bad you already ordered because the tools from Terabyte Unlimited (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com[^]) are the best. Saved my ass a few times already.
I attempted that... but my credit card failed, so I'll have a look at terabyte's solution too. The feature set looks good, pretty much all I need. Thanks for the suggestion!

Acronis saved my ass just last week.

DriveImage XML I have used it several times, and it works great: http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm[^] Besides letting you create and restore an image, you can also pull individual files out of the image as well. DriveImage XML is packaged in UBCD for Windows: http://www.ubcd4win.com/[^] This allows you to boot off a CD and create the image while the OS is not loaded. This is the best way I have found to use this application.
