Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Funny timing on this post.
I've just used this software to install and clone a new 500 GB Seagate drive in my system from the failing 120 GB Seagate one.
The software version "not" mentioned by name in this post that I used was Seagate DiscWizard: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/discwizard
There is a great PDF "How To" download that explains in great detail about the product and how to use it for various situations.
Here's my tip: Don't use the CD version that ships with the Seagate drive. It isn't quite the same one as the web-download...at least not in my experience. Go download the web-version instead. It will save you a BUNCH of time!

Does Seagate DiscWizard support scheduled backups (eg: every night at 3 am)? With, say, a weekly full backup and nightly incrementals?
That's what I want. Ghost9 does this pretty well.

Seagate's DiscWizard does lots of things...but I can't find anywhere in the application that scheduling of backups is supported...either in the application or the manual. I suppose with some Macro-making tool and a scheduler app it could be done, but that's a bit more work than I would like to put in.
The backup/restore aspect of the software is otherwise fairly full-featured with the ability to focus on drives / files / or folders, to mount images and to "explore" them to extract files within them, set compression weight, ftp support, and file size "chopping" of the image.
All in all it is a very featured product for being "free". And it is very well designed and polished for "novice" users to follow-along with.
However the "gotcha" seems to be that at least one of the drives on your system must be a Seagate one (to use Seagate DiscWizard) or a Maxtor (to use the similarly featured MaxBlast5).
Aside from the naming and internal application "branding" they appear to be identical.

Thanks, Claus. I still may give it a try.
I have several Seagate drives now. I started buying Seagate after I had several Maxtors die after 1-2 years. Now I'm a big believer in backups! :-) :-(
Seagate has a 5-year warranty, so I started buying Seagate drives. Maxtor and Western Digital have only 3 years or 1 year -- except the WD Raptor. (Seagate's external drives still have short 1 year warranties, however.)

Seagate Disk Wizard is NOT the same thing as Acronis True Image. It is a crippled version, with limited functionality.

I downloaded the Seagate DiscWizard. Everytime i try to run it it pops with an error saying i need at least one Seagate or Maxtor drive and then links me to Acronis' website. I have 2 seagate drives installed in my system, so i'm not sure why i'm getting that error.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
