“A strong buy”
“In my long search for a backup/restore utility for my Windows machines, I’ve tried just about everything I could get my hands on... What I had been wanting was...boot into a non-Windows system to do a full backup, but still be able to use that same backup to restore just the file I accidentally dumped in a mad disk cleaning frenzy.
“So why am I so excited about something as mundane as a backup/restore utility? ...I travel a lot and have had a disk drive die out from under me... I don’t want to have to dig around for my Windows License key, I don’t want to be forced into a single vendor solution, and most importantly I’d like a restore utility that gives me back a machine ready to go without forcing me into repairing various applications.”
— Brian Chee, InfoWorld, May 18, 2007
