Verdict:

Pros: Simple to use; great price

Cons: Wizards don't always explain what the next step will do

Rating:

5

Price:

£29.99

Disk imaging is only slightly more appealing than watching paint dry, so you might as well get a tool that's easy to use.

True Image 8 has a wizard-driven interface that guides you effortlessly through the process. As well as standard imaging to tape, hard disks, network drives or removable media (CD or DVD), it supports scheduled incremental additions to full images.

Dedicated wizards are provided for all tasks, and you can work normally while the image is created. You can also create a bootable rescue CD for restoring images if your hard disk becomes corrupted.

It's simple to use and sensibly priced, and should be part of every PC owner's software toolkit.
