Ok, I've been involved in discussions before about backup software. I used to use Powerquest Drive Image, which was bought out by Norton (so I bought Ghost 9) and have now decided to move to Acronis True Image. I've seen lots of good info on it both here and other places.
What I'd like is if anyone has experience with this product to fill me in on their do's and don'ts, good or bad ideas, etc. Don't get me wrong, I've committed to it and am in the middle of a backup as we speak. However, I'm still new to using it and we can always benefit from other's experience. For instance, in the backup going on now I've noticed that 1)It burns the CD's quickly but 2)It's taking a lot of CD's to do a 40 GB HD (boot drive on my system). Is there a compression setting I missed when starting this backup? I know, I know, I should have put it on DVD's but wanted to try things out first. Anyway, all feedback would be welcome. Thanks!
