Hi,
After the 3.3 DDOS attack which happened in our country...
Which destroys hard drives... (did it also happen elsewhere?)
I definately realized that having a backup&restore software
(disaster recovery solutions) is a good idea.
Without explaining the reason, I only got 3 options.
1. Norton Ghost
2. Acronis True Image
3. Windows 7 built-in
Are these good options?
I don't want it to be a this vs that thread since it is against the rules here. But I appreciate to have some recommendation by private messages?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor English.

I imagine all 3 of those are good options.
Acronis is the only one I've had personal experience with and it's what I use.
It's saved my bacon on a couple of occasions, so obviously, I like it and recommend it.
Paragon is another good one, though it's not on your list.

Thanks for your reply ABee.
I did use ATI since when it was v2009.
But the newest version seems to have problems with my environment.
It does not boot in Linux (the part where I restore my system)
So I had to make a Rescue CD which includes the SAFE MODE, because
I can only boot with the Rescue CD in SAFE MODE (one of the add-on of ATI)
I wonder if Norton Ghost suites better for me.
Anyways Thanks again.

I wouldn't know about any of that, offhand.
Though I'd imagine the built-in Win7 backup/restore program might not handle whatever Linux environment it is you need backed-up or booted into, either.
Couldn't say about Norton Ghost. I have no familiarity with that program.
Good luck.
I'm sure some other posters will have some workable ideas for you.

Macrium is another good candidate.

I gues I'll have to figure it out myself.
My bad that this thread is dead.
Thanks to you all who replied. :)
