Requirements:
I have used several tools in the past such as ghost 2.0 & ShadowProtect both worked very well, but they were enterprise tools which cost $$$$. and I cannot afford $$$$. I have also used Ghost (consumer version) but I have not been impressed by it.
I really want experience for the client to be as simple as possible. In my mind the image file should be a single file that the client only needs to "double click" to view and copy files from.
- Image the system hard drive of a computer running windows XP (vista and 7 would be also be nice for a unified solution)
- Easy access to files inside the image from a PC running XP, Vista or 7 (Ex. like mounting an .iso file with daemon)
- Free or Cheap, preferably without commercial restrictions.
- Would prefer if image could also be loaded onto a hard drive (like restoring a complete system backup) however, this is not a requirement for my current application.
