User Reviews for PowerQuest DRIVE IMAGE 7.0 (PowerQuest-DM70ENK1)

Reviewed by: giphoto

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: It is easy & intuitive to use. It is an excellent backup program for multiple drives including those on other network computers. Full or incremental restores from the backup files couldn't be easier.

Weaknesses: None found in 2 years

Overall Evaluation: After trying four other programs to backup 7 drives locally & over a network, I finally found Drive Image. It has been dependable, backing everything up nightly without my having to do anything except have the computer on. I've used it to restore full drives & pieces of drives without losing ANY information. I highly recommend this software

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Would produce nice fast backups with good size compression.

Weaknesses: Very tricky to get to work. Erratic undependable backups due to errors of file corruption when you test the file.

Overall Evaluation: Install is tricky. Need to get 7.3 upgrade but when it's installed there's no clear indication the software was updated. Can only backup a drive to another drive on the same IDE channel. Solid Corruption errors if the drivs are spread across IDE channels (ie: Primary and Secondary channels.) Can't restore out of windows. Restore won't run standalone or under DOS. Doesn't restore root drives correctly. Leaves,or updates, MBR incorrectly. MBR has to be manually corrected. Something most users would have difficulty doing. This is especially bad on drives with multi root drives and multiple systems. Won't even run from Safe Mode. Throws Server Initialization Error even though system has no network connection therefor no server. NOT A GOOD CHOICE!!!! I've submitted this to Symantec but I don't expect a clear cut answer if they live up to prior encounters.
