RE: Windows registry cleanup tools - PowerQuest Drive Image

Wolfgang,

	Yes, we needed a license for 200+ workstations in the University
testing center.

	I had actually installed an image recovery option in our backup
package, but getting anyone to use it was like pulling teeth. Just about the
time I had someone trained to run it they graduated...

	In that case, using Ghost or Acronis was a far simpler alternative.

You must be talking about the Server version for companies. The Home
version costs all of $50 and requires nothing else. It's extremely simple
to use, IMO, and still pretty flexible. Support for various drives is
excellent. Produces reliable full backups under Win 98 and XP while the
operating system is running (I did several restores using backups
created that way, and it came up perfect every time). But of course,
YMMV.
