Ärende: duo core - what for?
============================
GM> GM>>>> Since you're talking about True Image version 10 (Home ???), I
GM> GM>>>> would like to know if you can continue to backup to DVD if you have
GM> GM>>>> more than one DVD burner.  ???

GM> JE>>> Can't tell you right now, Gerald. I was using 10 to back up my
GM> JE>>> laptop - which only has one DVD. Wont be able to tell you in the
GM> JE>>> future either. None of my systems have more than one DVD. All
GM> JE>>> desktops have a CDRW and a DVD RW drive.

GM> JE> I can see no advantage in having two DVD drives. I do have a CDRW AND
GM> JE> a DVD/RW in both my systems. Thinking about it I really do not believe
GM> JE> there is much advantage in having both. The DVD RW will do everything.

GM>After some more investigation, I have to agree with your belief -- the
GM>DVDRW will do everything and having dual DVDRW on one machine doesn't make
GM>good economic sense.

GM> GM>> Since I'm in the process of building my "Screamer" machine, I was
GM> GM>> wondering if it would be advantageous to have two DVD burners and
GM> GM>> if TI would recognize multiple DVD burners and span the image
GM> GM>> backups consecutively. Right now, I'm vacillating between the TI 10
GM> GM>> Home and the TI 9.1 Workstation versions.  Charles has me
GM> GM>> (currently) leaning towards the Home version...

GM> JE> I am using TI 10 home. Works just fine so far. Easier to use than the
GM> JE> previous versions. The instructions are more lucid. I've been having
GM> JE> indications that my backup HD was not operating properly lately.
GM> JE> Couldn't sleep last night so I got up and replaced the HD,
GM> JE> formatted it, installed TI 10 and started a backup. Woke up this AM
GM> JE> and everything was just fine.

GM>Sorry, I didn't intend for you to loose sleep over my questions.  ;-))

You didn't cause it. It has just been happening lately.

GM> GM>> I can't believe the DVD burners are so inexpensive - Liteon 18x
GM> GM>> DVDRW (internal) for CDN $45.95.  I paid almost three times that
GM> GM>> much for a CDRW four years ago...

GM> JE>>> The backup on the DVDs turned out to be faulty. One bad DVD I
GM> JE>>> believe, (had a funny looking spot in the data area).

GM> GM>> Pity.

Life!

GM> JE> One problem with DVD and TI backups. TI doesn't logically handle more
GM> JE> than one DVD (DISK) back up. In doing a restore one has to start with
GM> JE> backup DVD #1, then it calls for inserting backup DVD #2, then reverts
GM> JE> to DVD #1 again and starts the actual back up. I really do not intend
GM> JE> t o use DVDs for all backups. Just wanted a set for possible restoring
GM> JE> to my beginning fully setup system. Will use a USB drive for ensuing
GM> JE> backup operations.

GM>This doesn't make sense to me (of course, everyone knows I require things
GM>to be explained in "black and white").  If TI will only backup to one DVD
GM>disk, why, upon a restore, does it ask for multiple disks (or am I
GM>misunderstanding your explanation)?

TI does backup to multiple CDs! Took three to backup my Thinkpad. The
third one didn't have very much on it.
