Hi Douglas
You're correct that at one time both Drive Image and Ghost had to operate in
DOS mode. Now they seem to have overcome that problem as I see Stephen has
posted a message about Ghost 9 that also seems to work effectively in
Windows.
However neither of us have restored from those backups and for the life of
me I cannot work out how it can be done with speech as the speech would not
be there if a major collapse has occurred. But at least being able to
maintain a regular backup programme without dragging an unwilling volunteer
in off the street is half the problem solved so progress is being made.
