Is there a bootable backup program for Vista (32-bit)?

**MrHope** · 01-01-2008

hello. I'm looking for a backup program for Vista Home Premium that allows booting from DVD or CD-ROM in order to restore backups stored on DVD or CD-ROM. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi MrHope.

I use Acronis True Image. It works with both 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista. You can use it to create bootable media and from there you can make and restore backups from internal/external hard drives, CDROM and DVD media. It works like Norton Ghost does for Windows XP. It also includes utilities for wiping your hard drives and preparing the computer for resale. Very nice bonus.

I second the vote for Acronis True Image, it is easy to use both backup and recovery.

It has saved my butt so many times it is one of the most valuable software programs I own.
