Need a good disk cloning/imaging utility.

Any of you guys know of any good disk cloning/imaging utilities?

I have been using acronis true image 7 for making images. This is a free version if you search this forums for that thread.

driveimageXML works well + can create backup files or clone to a new drive while you are booted into windows.

It is also easy to put onto a WinPE based disk (bart PE or UBCD4WIN) and then you can clone other OS's like linux, etc.

best of all its completely free!

thanks for the responses guys, I'll need something that will enable me to image machines from a network share. I will check into these, THANKS!

looks like UBCD now included DriveImageXML in its default config - http://www.ubcd4win.com/contents.htm

you should be able to boot the CD + access a network drive to pull your images from.

You could probably get better speed with a program like ghost, but ghost ain't free

From what I've been able to google up, it looks like the deal is dead.
