OK Geeks! - whats the best backup / restore software.

Slothy

I was wondering if you guys would know about this , many of you probably manage tons of pcs and networks and stuff...

Basically I handle the family business PC's
We have a PC's in different offices around the city.

Im looking to make a handy backup resotre solution, basically backing up onto a partition on the computers drive....
Then when The emplyee messes it up or gets spyware or something, I just run a quick resotre of the image, Ill probably have to use a boot cd but would be great if I didnt (like my mini samsung pc)

Now, what is the best for this....



Norton Ghost...? (it just looks like it has too many features and messy)
or found some others....

aslo acronis below , but reviews online were pretty bad:
http://www.acronis.com/

Have any of you guys used these?
I want to keep it simple, and want obviously the backup image to be nice and stable when I put it back on......

You need to get the one without the linux support, pretty cheap too.

Fair enough, this is a useful forum for those who are not as adapt with computers as others - a valueable resource in that regard. I don't see why you feel the need to call these peeps, from whom you're seeking help, GEEKS. Sure, I could be patronisng and say that if you're supposed to be handling the family business PC's then you should know about this. And that you're clearly not competent enough to do your job. However I won't...

Try Best Hard Disk Image Software.

hey Geek is a term of endearment really, most geeks like being geeks, theres actually a difference between geeks, dorks and nerds..... I read it somewhere, basically dorks have no ability with technical things....


Im a geek anyway, built tons of machines can code pretty good, was just looking for some trade info on the backup software .....
