I am thinking of switching from Norton Ghost to Acronis True Image for a new
machine I am putting together.

I have downloaded the True Image Trial Version and used it this morning to
back up my C: (System Drive) and my D: (Data Drive including the Outlook
Express Store Folder.) During the back up process, I did some work with
OE.

After both backup processes completed, I went to OE and found all my
Newsgroup subscriptions had disappeared. Panic time. I restored C: from
the True Image file and the subscriptions appeared just as they were before
the backup.

I wonder if any one else here uses True Image and has experienced this sort
of thing. Could it be that working in OE while the backup process was
running caused this problem?

I have Googled this to see if there might be some restrictions on using the
system (XP Home) while the back up process runs but have find none.

Thank you for any insight on this.
