Be Warned!!,

This review is from: Powerquest Drive Image 7 (CD-ROM)
When it's working, this is a wonderful product.If you are using XP and backing up to a drive within your computer, then you should be fine. If you are thinking to backup to another drive in a home network, then the documentation bares little resemblance to the reality. There are three sources of info: 1) The PDF manual on the install disk 2) The online 'knowledgebase' and 3)Help on the program itself. There are several option you can only select or edit upon installation, so reading the documentation is important but still inadequate, with choices and boxes not referred to anywhere. Choose the wrong one, and you're back to square one. In addition, unless you are *very* intimate with XP file sharing, groups and networks, you will be asked to pay support $29.95 for them to "teach you" Windows networking, and despite their assurances, there is no direct references to these in the Microsoft knowledgebase. This is very frustrating and Symantec buying Powerquest has left me to the whims of a "More than my job's worth" "Support Nazi" on the end of the support phone. Wouldn't even walk me through installation! They should just charge another $20 for the product (it's worth it when working) and have done with it. I refuse to be nickeled and dimed to death.

Powerquest is Dead,

This review is from: Powerquest Drive Image 7 (CD-ROM)
Powerquest was famous for creating excellent software. This changed when Symantec acquired them. Fanatical support is gone -- questions and bug reports go unanswered now. It used to be that you'd hear back from the developers when you found the software doing something unexpected; it was clear that they cared about their product. Now you get stonewalling PR people trying to convince you that you should blame HP, Microsoft, your drive manufacturer, anyone but them when you discover that the program is creating invalid backup files. I had to create a program to restructure the backup files myself in order to recover my data!Sorry, guys. It was great while it lasted, but the 2002 version was the last solid version of this program. It's like you were having a brilliant conversation with Einstein, and just as it's getting good, someone replaces him with Carrot Top. Now, I'd rather use the simplistic backup software that comes with Windows XP. It may be minimal, but at least it works!

This review is from: Powerquest Drive Image 7 (CD-ROM)
So you have lost some data due to hard drive failure or accidentally messing something up. That was me 10 months ago.I started my "PowerQuest" for backup software. TahDah! Powerquest Drive Image 7, from a reputable online retailer. I read all the reviews and although hesitant plunked my $70 bucks down and got it. After reading all the info I could based on the amazon reviews here and the symantec support website, I proceded to install. All went well and I updated to the latest patch and made my first image. Great! Then I got the bright idea of trying out the backup. So I deleted a couple things and proceded to reboot to the backup cd set (cd-r spanning 5 disks.) All went fine and 25 min later I was rebooting, well I tried to reboot. Ended up wiping out what I set out to protect. After the 3hr rebuild process I decided not to try again. Symantec promises a 60 day satifaction guarentee so I asked for my money back following proper procedure as outlined on their support site. It's been 16 weeks and now support has forwarded my refund inquires to corporate (promised 48 hrs response time) its been a week and still no response to my refund inquiries. Glad I photocopied all materials I sent for the refund. Buyer beware.
