The design of the program seems primitive at first glance, but what you see at start-up is just one way to navigate Casper XP. The expanded version of the interface uses the Windows XP desktop organization to make the interface more convenient.
The main purpose of the program is to copy one hard drive to another; copying to a CD-ROM is not an option. Other actions, such as drive removal, seem useful. Although it's true that you can perform other actions when removing or copying drives, these will be much slower.

If your PC's hard disk fails or becomes corrupted, boot your computer directly from your backup hard disk and you're up and running again in seconds.
No need for time-consuming, risky image archive restoration. Intelligent, exclusive automation technologies including SmartStart and SmartSense also make maintaining multiple, fully bootable, backup replacement disks for a computer using inexpensive external USB, Firewire, or eSATA drives effortless. Schedule the backup to be performed at any time, or perform the backup in the background while you continue to use your computer.

Overall: Level Expert Comment by: Thomas Zucker-Scharff Joe, This is a really good resource - thank you for creating it. Author Comment by: Joe Winograd Tom, Thanks for the compliment — and the Helpful vote — both truly appreciated!
Regards, Joe. You're welcome. I did 12 of them before the launch. I had several ideas for some helpful ones, but I think I may add one on using Paragon premium for P2V. I will see. Overall: Level 1. Expert Comment by: Blinkr Have you tried using Casper with an external HDD docking station? I use a StarTech eSATA docking station that supports 2 drives to clone an old drive over to a new drive with both drives installed in docking station.
Do you know if Casper will support this type of cloning?? Hi Blinkr, Yes, it supports that. Expert Comment by: Stardotstar Thanks this was very well done.
And thanks to you for the compliment and the Helpful vote — I really appreciate it! Overall: Level 8. Expert Comment by: Yashwant Vishwakarma Very helpful article for a Computer professional in daily life he or she needs stuff like that. Voted Yes : Regards, Yashwant Vishwakarma.
Hi Yashwant, Thank you for the kind words and the upvote — much appreciated! Expert Comment by: snoopaloop Thanks Joe! We bought the home edition of Casper 8. It's in the middle copying the source hard drive that is beginning to fail on to the new drive.
Can I reuse the CD on another computer with a similar situation? You're welcome, snoopaloop. Glad to hear that you caught the hard drive before it failed totally. Regarding using the Startup Disk on another computer, the answer is YES from a technical perspective, but NO from a licensing perspective unless you purchased the Family Value Pack, which allows use on three household PCs.
When you think about it, this makes perfect sense — otherwise, you would be able to run the software on an unlimited number of PCs by using the Startup Disk. Note that the website says this: Casper is licensed per computer. A separate license is required for each computer for which Casper will be used. Once this software has been installed and used on a computer, it may not be transferred to another computer unless the transfer occurs to a computer acquired as a replacement for that computer.
For additional details, please consult the License Agreement that accompanies the software. Expert Comment by: Lester Davis Anything different I need to know? Will it be bootable? No problem. It can clone to the same size drive or to a larger one or even to a smaller one, as long as there is enough space on the smaller one to house the used non-free space from the larger one however, the day free trial does not support volume resizing.
You may let Casper resize the partitions proportionally the default or you may resize them yourself manually to any sizes you want of course, each partition must be sized large enough on the destination drive to house the used space on the source drive. Every time I've used it many, many times! Expert Comment by: nobus Hi nobus, Sorry I didn't get to it today.
I'll look at it tomorrow for sure. I was just going to suggest that Joe might have some good input. Although I think you also have to look at hardware problems as well.
Expert Comment by: Eddie Shipman If you use the trial and clone to a bigger hard drive, can you then resize the volume using Windows Disk Management to add the unpartitioned space? Hi Eddie, Yes, and it's legal, as far as I can tell. I suppose it's not in the spirit of what FSS had in mind with the free trial, but I don't see anything in the End User License Agreement EULA that prohibits it although you should read it carefully yourself to form your own opinion.
Here are other free products that should also be able to do it. Overall: Level 4. Expert Comment by: Abraham Deutsch Can this run on a schedule for example every night should it clone my hard drive to another hard drive don't mind if it rewrites the old one since I have backups will this clash with other backups?
