Subject  :  XXCLONE - basic question
Size(KB) :  1


A primary objective would be to be able to put a backup XP clone onto CDR so that if the hard drive crashes, the clone can be re-installed. I tried to do that with a bootable clone created by XXCLONE (copied to CDR using Norton GHOST 2001). The GHOST recovery ran okay, but the resulting partition was again not operational until XXCLONE was run from a pre-existing partition and option 4 was used to make the GHOST-recovered partition bootable. But if XXCLONE is doing its work by copying all the registry files from an existing partition, then there does not seem to be a stand-alone recovery capability. Can that be established only by having the backup partition on another harddrive. If GHOST clones the full drive image to CDR, does anyone know what is missing? Is some sort of preparation in addition to the XXCLONE step needed? Throughout the backup and restore process I had the "system recovery" option turned off so that there was hopefully less XP-interdependence between the various drives.

Thanks for any guidance on this.

Dan
