Backup Software - System Image
Hello Experts,
I have used Cobian, NTBackup and Paragon Software to implement backkups on Microsoft platforms.
Is there a freeware software similar to Paragon Software that can capture the image of the system?
Here are items that would be on my wishlist for the software:
1. Emails notificaton of completion of backup with status
2. WishList - makes a bare metal backup so you can put an HP backup on a Dell or vice versa..
3. Manages jobs easily so you can tell it to retain x copies for per the schedule. For example, I like to perform daily backups and keep 7 copies, weekly backups and keep 4 copies, monthly backups and keep 3 copies, etc..
Thanks,

tucktech--Except for the copies, does Windows 7 Backup and Restore not do what you want? It comes with Win 7 and so is free.

I think bacula and cobian are probrably the best to freeware solutions I see at this time. Bacula states they do backup and restore system state for Active Directory. Something I really would like versus using Cobian and NTBackup to make sure I get system state.
Windows XP
Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
