Re: WMDC 6.1, Office Ultimate, Vista UIltimate(64 bit), Windows Mo
I am currently making a backup of the 68GB of data files on Quad 5130
6GB, Ultimate x64, and taking 12 hours.
Earlier I made a clone of C partition in 40 minutes, which . In both
cases, Norton Ghost 12 using a couple new 500GB WD drives.
Seems like compression is eating up 25% cpu resources during this. And I
still need/want to create a recovery DVD.
I didn't like NIS 2007 but after getting tired of AVG Suite, Norton has
done a good job on NIS 2008. I just didn't want or realize if Norton 360
was for me (a la carte seemed the way to go) but Acronis TI 11 didn't
work, but DataBackupPC (Prosoft) was my other choice for backups. I had
a corrupt file and Ghost would just sit there (half an hour w/o
movement) and not proceed and no idea why, until I noticed twice same
file and worked after deleting. (and I've scanned the drive for errors
and bad blocks).
I'm sure future backups will go quickly as well. My biggest concern was,
will I need to do this again? and if files are modified during the 12
hours. Seems like it could cause a problem if something is added/deleted
or modified.
