And it’s just silly that Symantec System Recovery (formerly V2i protector, formerly LiveState Recovery, etc.), can’t do a simple drive clone of XP or Win7 (Win 7 cloning is a disaster, and even XP cloning requires a floppy/DOS combo or similar to reset the MBR).

Easeus Todo Backup, even the free version, seems to do perfect clones of XP and Win7 disks. Put it this way; I’ve done many, and it’s been pretty solid.

I do use Symantec System Recovery to do regular full and incremental scheduled to-disk backups, however, and find it VERY reliable.

But for cloning, Easeus seems to be at least one of the simpler alternatives out there.
