Disaster Recovery and backup

"Two Products in One – NTI Backup NOW! 4 Deluxe Suite
File and Folder Backup - Backup selected files and folders from local and mapped drives.
Full Image Backup - Backup your entire hard drive or hard drive partition, allowing you to save all your data and Windows settings"! "Bootable Emergency Recovery Disc – Create bootable CD or DVD discs to recover your primary drive or partition with a backup copy. Works even if your Windows installation is inoperable".
From info on there site it appears this does not require NTI Backup 4 any longer. http://www.ntius.com/default.asp?p=backupnow/bun_main

 

I dowloaded the 11 MB trial version for NTI Backup NOW! 4 Deluxe Suite and when I wanted to perform a disk backup it said this required drive backup. The Drive Backup trial version is 75 MB. The 11 MB Backup Deluxe Suite trial could not possibly include the 75 MB functionality of Drive Backup.

NTI is not publishing a fully functional trial version or you better have them confirm that Backup Deluxe includes all features of Drive Backup before purchasing Backup Deluxe.

 

The quotes are direct from their site. The way it reads would lead one to conclude that NTI Backup Now does not require Drive Backup and it costs more than Drive Backup in the online store as well. However you may be correct in assuming it is not fully functional in the trial version.

 

I'll send a message to NTI pre-sales support and post back to this topic.
