Scubar Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 cant say i have ever used it , i would tend to stick to more mainstream drive image programs like Acronis TrueImage or Norton Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tguy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have used SnapShot on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, XP and Linux. IDE, SATA and SCSI disks, RAID or NON-RAID. It works like a champ!! Of course, you know the best part is that it is cheap, requires no installation and can be used to restore files from a BartPE boot cd or USB. I love this tool.....You can also create a batch file as the website suggests and have the AT or Scheduler service start a job that will image your machine to a specified location. I do this once a month for regular backups of the entire machine. Also use FORFILES.EXE to delete files older than 25 days so my disks don't fill up. Easy to configure.If you truly want a free utility take a look at DriveImageXML. It is free but requires an install unless you run it strictly from a BartPE boot cd or USB. I have tried both and SnapShot seems to be faster.Get what you pay for I guess. Good luck with your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
