Best IBM Backup Program

[Paul Berger (Canada)]

Even the spinning disks used in laptops don't seem to be really reliable, and my I work at home and am dependant on my laptop, so what I do is I keep a spare imaged disk ready to go. My situation is probably different than your in that I do not have a constant stream of new data, and most of of the data that resides on my laptop is easily restored . There are two programs that I have used to make image copies of my disk one is the commercial program Acronis True Image and the other is the free Clonezilla Live. Both of these work well and get the job done. I find that image copy is the quickest way to recover and restoring data is usually less of a problem than restoring the OS and applications.
