Windows disk cloners?
What's the best option for taking a Windows machine and backing up a (booting) harddrive to an external drive, with the possibility of cloning the backup back to the original drive if neccesary?
What I'm actually trying to do: Take an IDE harddrive out of an older computer, take all drives out of a newer computer, put the old drive in the new computer, run that way for a while.
The backup is just in case of PANIC.
Googling for "windows backup software" of course doesn't give any immediately useful looking results.
Also: I'm not opposed to paying some money to do this, but less than, say, $50 would be preferable.
Best guess so far: Acronis True Image Home 15 days trial
