Version: DriveImage XML 1.21
Pros: The first tool, I encounter, that can backup (even the sys-partition) while in Windows! Not from DOS! Nice features like disk spanning or compression, good UI, you always know what's going on. You're always informed about what you do on which drive.
Cons: Cannot restore to the active sys-partition. How would I do this with this tool if I had to? The target partition must have at least size of the backed up partition, which is not necessary with Norton Ghost e.g.

Version: DriveImage XML 1.21
Pros: It makes a harddisk image of your harddrives and copies it to a folder or any other medium ( CD, DVD, external harddrive ).
You can also choose to compress the files so that they don't take up too much space.
Cons: No built-in sheduler, it uses the Windows sheduler ...

"invest the time, learn something new"
Pros: the learning curve is way out there, you will need:1. isobuster to create a bootable cd, 2. nero burning rom or roxio to burn a cd containing an updated service pack, improvise if you want to use sonic. 3. barts preinstall environment for something i got tired of this and will have to come back to it, as well as 4. the xml plugins and then probably something else. after you have jumped through the hoops you will have learned alot. the instructions are detailed. my pc will asimilate and become one with the others.
Cons: when you have to reinvent the wheel, only then will you understand the circle. run away if you don't have the time to invest here.

Version: DriveImage XML 1.12
Pros: Great for complete hard drive backups
Cons: can only backup the whole hard drive, would be nice to select file and folders you want to backup and not just the whole hard drive, its a bit hard to keep backing up 200gig+ hard drives

Version: DriveImage XML 1.21
Pros: It is very easy to install, very easy to backup, very nice-looking. I was able to restore my old drive's image to a new hard drive in a one-drive computer, using the pre-compiled BartPE plugin downloaded from the runtime.org web site.
And it's free! But after spending days trying to get another paid-for utility to work, I honestly feel that I should send these guys some money for a job well done.
