Dave,
Thanks for pointing this out. I am going to take a look at
BootIt.
I have not run into problems with my TrueImage backups and
I have done about 5 restores so far (mainly to get myself
out bad configurations when installing new hardware, or to
recover from a virus that could not be removed without
disabling my internet). But I only keep the essentials on
the disk TrueImage backs up so it can do a backup while I
am out for lunch - thus I am not working on things that
might change the C drive at the same time.
As I mentioned xxCopy is used to back up my data drive (D)
and xxCopy can do those backups during a coffee break.
