Can schedule backups for particular time in a week day , can also set to take backup more than once per day .The best thing about it is its ability to restore to dissimilar hardware. So we can recover from a dissaster very quickly. The recovery disk is a very usefull one ,its really a vista bootable cd (like VISTAPE). In the recovery cd there is lot of tools., we can provide drivers, can connect to network(so its possible to restore from network), browse/manage file system, windows command prompt, can do everything as with vistape or bartpe . I have taken system drive backup of an old AMD athlon 3000+ with VIA chipset system and successfully
restored to another hardware (a new laptop with AMD athlon dual core with NVIDIA chipset) . On restore process its asked for lan driver for the new system (can skip this) , i provided the driver path containing the inf and driver files, after restoration i found the network card working fine. The restoration process was very smooth, My sytem drive backup was about 3 gb , it took about 10 minutes to restore. It was a windows 2003 server backup. On booting up restored system as its hardware are different windows 2003 showed detecting and installing hardware process , after that its showed network hardware detecting. Its took about 20 minutes
after that my systm was working fine ... same as like when i took the backup . Total time taken to restore to dissimilar hardware is about 30-40 minutes, look it will save lot of hours when a disaster occur. I also tried successfully to restore to the same hardware , it only took 10 minutes.....
Note: On restoring to dissimilar hardware you may require to activate the windows again.
