Automatic file backup and system recovery program is included in New Mexico Software Acronis, the technological leader in automatic file backup and system recovery software, announced that New Mexico Software, Inc. has signed an OEM agreement to include Acronis True Image in its recently announced TORC product line.

TORC is a software appliance and web service backup solution designed to enable the installation, scheduling, storage, retrieval, and restoration of either full partition or partial file backups of almost any computer or server via any standard web browser to insure against disaster. The system, which uses Acronis True Image as its disaster recovery cornerstone, can be used by virtually any company or enterprise. It automatically schedules full, differential or incremental backups via a browser interface for a single system or thousands of computers. microsoft

TORC stores the backup images on a hosted or central appliance and enables restoring full partitions or selecting files from each image in case of disaster. Using this interface, the product provides access anytime and anywhere there is an Internet browser and connection, allowing users to instantly return their computers and their business to full operating condition should a system suffer a logical or physical failure. laptop computers

Terabyte Unlimited is responsible for one of my favorite PC utilities of all time: BootIt Next Generation, a disk-, partition-, and boot-management tool that does more than many programs costing twice that much. For that reason, I ve routinely given their other utilities a good hard look as well, and they have at least one tool that fits into this roundup: Image for Windows, which ships with its companion application Image for DOS. averatec

Image for Windows s no-nonsense interface doesn t get in the way when you just want to make a system-wide backup. Image for Windows lets you make full partition and disk backups from within Windows, including the currently-running system partition. The resulting backups can be written out to a local or network drive, or to CD or DVD, and can be spanned across multiple discs. If you make a backup set to CD or DVD, you can also set up the first disk in the set to be bootable. This way, if you want to restore everything without having a copy of Image for Windows handy, you can just boot the first of your backup discs and start the restore process there. The size of a backup set is automatically split into 2GB files - to avoid conflicts with, for instance, the file-size limitations of the FAT32 file system - but can also be split into other chunks, such as 648MB, for burning to CD. It isn t possible to back up files and folders selectively, though, just whole partitions. hardware

When you install the program in Windows, you re also prompted to install a tool called PHYLock. This allows you to back up files in use by the system by making a snapshot of them at a given moment in time, so any changes made to the system after that point are not reflected in the backup. (It s also possible to boot Image for DOS and make a full system image offline, but this way you can do the backup without disrupting other work.) I backed up a basic 15GB image with 5GB of actual data in about six minutes using the default options. dual xeon

Restoring an image from scratch can be done in a couple of different ways: You can restore within Windows to another partition or you can boot a CD or floppy built with the program to perform an offline restore. Backups can be restored from any media you ve copied them to, including a hard drive mounted natively and available through BIOS or connected via a USB/FireWire connection. However, you can t restore across a network in DOS mode; you need to have the file available locally in some form before it can be restored. The image files created by Image for Windows are compatible with all other Terabyte products, including BootIt Next Generation. storage

The single biggest drawback is the lack of an incremental backup option. For instance, you can t make a snapshot of a partition one week and then back up only the changed files the next week; you have to back up everything at once. (There s also no way to do individual folder backups.) This makes it hard to use as a regular backup solution, unless you don t mind staking out the time required to do a full system backup. That said, Terabyte plans to include just such a feature in their next major upgrade to the product. seagate

Norton Save And Restore

Norton Save and Restore is actually the newest version of Norton Ghost; call it Ghost 11.0, if you want to. Ghost itself was originally a standalone program, booted from floppies, that was used to perform drive-to-drive and computer-to- computer imaging. Symantec bought the program, rebranded it Norton Ghost, and added features from PowerQuest s Drive Image product (also bought by them). Save and Restore keeps all the good things from Ghost, but it s essentially an incremental upgrade and not an entirely new product. computer sales

Backup and Restore protects entire drives but can also be used to back up specific folders on demand. Right after installation, S R does several things to insure that it ll be able to properly back up and restore the whole system. The most important is a scan to determine whether a number of different hardware drivers - mass-storage, network, etc. - are available on the program s bootable recovery CD. This insures that if you back up to an external device (such as a USB-connected hard drive), you should still be able to access the backed-up data without needing Windows. Any device drivers not found on the recovery CD are listed in a report, so you can determine if they re crucial or not. computer hardware

Also at installation, the program tries to automatically create a set of backup policies - what to back up and where - based on, among other things, what drives are available and what user profiles are present. These can be changed at any time, but the default values are pretty good: a full system backup once a week, and a backup of the user s Documents and Settings directory once a day. Backups, which are called Recovery Points, can be set to happen on a schedule or whenever certain conditions arise: an application install, for instance, or whenever a user logs on or off. Any protected file or folder will also have a right-click context menu that lets you see any previously backed-up versions of that item; if you overwrite something, for instance, you can roll it back to a prior point in time. printers

Whenever it s time for a scheduled backup cycle and the user is logged in, the program pops up a warning from the System Tray to ask you if you want to do the backup cycle now. If you say yes, the operation runs in the background, but you can always call up the progress dialog for the backup operation and move a slider that controls how aggressive S R is at using system resources. When I tried it, a full system backup took almost exactly ten minutes; after that, backups took much less time since they were stored incrementally. If you have a Maxtor OneTouch external drive, S R integrates directly with the push-button backup system on the drive. technology

Hidden partition is a logical section of a disk which is not accessible to the operating system. Despite this fact a hidden partition may contain files and folders like a normal one. It may be used to protect confidential data or store backup of the system. mainframe

I think your product is great! I am amazed that it can image a server from Windows and the boot CD is simply amazing. We spent months trying to get Ghost to work with the NIC in the new HP Proliant DL360 G2. Your boot CD auto-detected it in seconds! samsung

Master boot record is the first sector on the hard disk drive, which defines structure of partitions and directs the BIOS boot loader to the location of the operating system Master boot record (MBR) is the first sector on the hard disk drive essential for booting the system. It consists of a program-loader and a disk partition table.

Master boot record is the first physical sector of a boot device (floppy, hard disk, or CD-ROM, etc.) During the process of booting up the system uses the master boot record of the first device. It usually contains a small program-loader and a disk partition table. The program-loader uses the partition information (or a partition table) stored at the end of the sector to determine which partition is bootable, then attempts to boot from it. computer repair

I have used Ghost 2003 for my backups but always had problems with some of my 8 (!) computers. A few days ago I bought a Maxtor 80 Gb ext USB 1.1/2.0 hard drive. After wrestling for hours with downloads from Ghost and installing extra drivers from Ghost I finally got it to work on one computer. (Ghost works ok here most of the time, with partitions on the internal C: drive but last week one of my laptops lost the HD and of course the Ghost backup). used computers

Ghost will not work with my old USB1 L10/10 Gb external hard drive. After spending a few hours on google trying to find an answer, and reading Ghost horror stories, I came across Acronis True Image?.0. After spending an other hour looking at reviews of that software I downloaded the Acronis software and put it on a cd. They have a special for $9.00 for users of Ghost!!! Now get this! That software works on All of my computers and even the 4 year old USB 1, yes 1 not 1, 1 ext hard drive. And it does it in Windows. network

It is however not very fast but that is a minor trade off for me. The slow speed could be caused by my use of USB 1.1. I use XP, 98 SE, 2K. The recovery CD or 5 floppies will work on any computer or operating system or No operating system at all! So unlike Ghost you only need one recovery cd. digital cameras

Multi-booting is ability of PC to choose one operation system from several and load it, given by special bootstrap loader or boot loader often called as Boot Manager Multi-booting an option that allows the user to choose, which operating system to boot.

A gui imagining product. Sure... whatever. I could not believe my eyes! I can not tell you how happy this product has made me. It is a lab nerds dream to have such a product. A dream come true. So simple but so tremendously powerful. Incredible! You have reduced the imaging of my lab computers down to an amazing incredible reduction in time. The ease that it went on to the systems. That incredible boot CD/floppy boot disk! The products ability to recognize it s hardware environment pretty much blew me away! I can walk around with a USB Mass Storage Device and Acronis True Image Boot CD and be a complete mad man! This product is amazing! hosting

Being hard headed about a mainstay product, cost me hour after hour of frustration trying to get that spooky software to work. Your product is amazing and makes theirs look ridiculous. I wonder how many other people out there are going through the same frightening experience. I am shocked at how your product differed in easy of use and speed. Really, the best $50 bucks I think I have spent in a long long time. netfinity

Favorable unfavorable issues

In doing my research for this review of Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0 I read the product manual (which I downloaded from the Acronis website) twice and noticed that a few of the newer features contained in this version had not been completely detailed or were omitted from the latest version of the manual. Most had to do with NTFS. I did however find these areas detailed at least in part on the Acronis website. networking

After completing my review as not to be biased, I read every review that I could find of this product including the earlier versions of the products that make up this suite of software. I did see where some of the reviewers had detailed a very few issues generally associated with the more advance features of the product. I must state for the record that I found none of these issues to be true in the revision of Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0 that I reviewed. This is by no means saying that these issues were not realized by the other authors. sharp

Benchmarks are generally not associated with reviews of this type and mine is no exception. I will say that I found this product subjectively faster than other products of its type. This was especially true in the conversion, formatting, and resizing functions. I also find running a single function in lieu of a multitude of batched functions far superior as it substantially lowers the possibility of error. cheap

Acronis has done a truly excellent job with Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0. While I would love to say it is by far the best on the market, I did not have the latest versions of their competitor s software to compare; so a statement of that type might be a bit far reaching. I will say that the product did two things that vastly impressed this author and is rare in today s world: 1) Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0 performed as advertised; and 2) Said performance was efficient and without incident. windows

The only issue that prohibits me from awarding it the prestigious BleedinEdge Platinum Blade award was the shortcomings I alluded to in its manual. The Platinum Award signifies that a product is perfect in every respect. I do however feel very comfortable in awarding Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0 The BleedinEdge Gold Blade Award . The Gold Blade Award signifies an excellent product, which excels in all areas, and has limited negatives. monitors
