Backup Dynamic Hard Disk Drive (XP_Pro) Software

[Gael33]

Could somebody recommend a software package that will backup my dynamic Hard Drive?
I have Acronis True Image 8.0 but unfortunately it won't backup dynamic drives :'(
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Gael33.

I guess that you have a iso file that u need to backup for your dynamic drive? If so anything like Acronis or nero burning rom will do this. If you are using NTFS then i would go with Acronis as it is much more stable on NTFS files if you are using fat 32 then Nero is a good choice hope this helps heres the links..

Thanks for replying Caddy, unfortunately, I already have both these programs and neither of them will work within a 'dynamic' H/D environment.
I've written to Acronis and maybe they can advise ... if it's positive, then I shall pass on any useful information I recieve.

Hi gael. Well i am not a big user of dynamic drives so not my forte sorry. But i guess that you are looking for a way of replacing or saving a Dynamic Drive Overlay (DDO)? The only thing i can think of that can do this is seagates DiscWizard Starter Edition.

If this is notwhat you want can you tell us a bit more about the problem. Then i can ask a few tech friend of mine thanks Loz
