# PING Reviews **Vendor:** EFFITEK **Category:** [Hard Drive Cloning Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/hard-drive-cloning) **Average Rating:** 4.6/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 6 ## About PING PING is a live Linux ISO, based on the excellent Linux From Scratch (LFS) documentation. It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated into a PXE / TFTP environment. Several tools have been added and written, so to make this ISO the perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions, an easy way. It sounds like Symantec Ghost(tm), but has even better features, and is totally free. ## PING Reviews ### 1.

PING - Great tool for data backup **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Priyanshu K. | Software Engineer (Android), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2022 **What do you like best about PING?** The best part about ping is that we can easily either backup our data or clone it over MS Network Shared Directory. Along with the input and output data it can also take backup of the whole partition making it very easy to rescue a system. **What do you dislike about PING?** A new user has to do some extra efforts in order to get used to the User Interface as there is very less documentation available online. Also pricing of the software can also be at a little more lower side. Availability of yearly license is also in my opinion a negative thing about the product as a lifetime alternative can easily be released. **Recommendations to others considering PING:** If data retrieval and revival is your topmost priority , then PING is the go to solution for you. Also since the product is built on LFS (Linux From Scratch) , installing complete copy of the product is very much feasible into your systems and performance and results generated by this tool is insane. **What problems is PING solving and how is that benefiting you?** Major problem which I am solving with PING is the sudden and quick revival of a system by taking backup or by cloning the data which can be re-used at some later time. Benefits I have realised are ample and speaks highly of the product like supporting multiple file systems like FAT16, FAT32, NTFS etc. ### 3. nice tool for backup all partition **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2021 **What do you like best about PING?** that is very easy to use and and that is free and helping me a lot to have a partition of disk **What do you dislike about PING?** I don't like the User interface. and i think they can update it **Recommendations to others considering PING:** i think for helpdesk this is must tool or some alternatives **What problems is PING solving and how is that benefiting you?** for the helpdesk team we are using it a lot they are doing backup most of ur instances with ping ### 4.
