Guest CdLsRN Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Is Acronis true image home edition, backup software , that much better than the backup software that comes with the 1 TB Western Digital (My Book) home edition ($300), that it is worth another $50. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ This would be for a Dell XPS T450 desktop with Windows 98se and for a XPS 420 Dell Vista?
Guest CdLsRN Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Acronis backup .....or Acronis disc director suite for partitions? I have several.... or just use the Western Digital easy software, since I have never done backups before and am unfamiliar with more complicated programs???

Guest Bill in Co. Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Acronis backup Acronis True Image works great, but you may need an older version to work with Win98SE. Check out their site.

Guest CdLsRN Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Acronis backup How would it work with Windows Vista with Windows 98se data transferred to it?.....and do you know anything about this. from Western Digital Site: Is this true of all eSATA backups? (Safe shutdown and SmartPower are not available in eSATA mode?....And, Is eSATA FASTER THAN FIREWIRE. (sorry). eSATA Mode 1. Verify that all files are saved and applications closed. 2. Shut down the computer 3. Turn off the drive by pressing the power button located on the back panel. Note: Safe Shutdown and SmartPower are not available in eSATA mode.

Guest CdLsRN Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Acronis backup I uninstalled the WD backup and the Memeo. I ran Acronis. It changed my drive (S) external hard drive to (D) which was a 8gb temp. partition. I backed up something but I'm not exactly sure what. If I wanted to start over, try again, how would I wipe the backup I have on there now..off?

Guest Bill in Co. Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Acronis backup In Acronis True Image, you can delete the backup image (created it with True Image). I think that option is available when you start the Backup routine, BUT after going through the initial screens (as if you were going to create another backup), an explorer-like interface appears where you can do it there (by right clicking on the backup image you want to delete, and selecting delete). At least as I recall now. CdLsRN wrote: > I uninstalled the WD backup and the Memeo. I ran Acronis. It changed my > drive (S) external hard drive to (D) which was a 8gb temp. partition.
