What Backup Imaging software do you use?

yes ive restored half a dozen times and it always worked.
I created the image and saved it to my external hard drive.
Then when i need to perform a restore i insert my windows repair disc and it restores an image for me.it always works for me anyhow.
Regards.

 

Thanks for the reply. Good to know

 

Your most welcome.

 

little known tip:
you can restore without the repair disc, right from the desktop.

it saves the eternity it takes for the repair disc to load.

 

Windows 7: Windows Built-in (Backup and Restore -> Create a system image)

Windows XP: Macrium Reflect Free

 

Just switched to Clonezilla from Macrium. So far so good!

 

I use Keriver 1-Click Restore.

 

I'm in search what is best for my comps: Clonezilla, Redo, Paragon, Acronis, Terabyte ...

 

I tried acronis long time ago. It gave me nothing but problems, not to mention huge installation size. I switched to Macrium Reflect free and I am nothing but a happy camper.

 

I now use Drive Snapshot. Awesome thing I tell you.

 

I didnt realise you could do a restore that way.How exactly do i do that please.?
Thanks for the info.

 

Then is it possible to restore the system partition from the OS, not from the boot cd?

 

None
only Rollback ,, but i saved all my files and documents in externals..

 

Routine backups: Dsynchronize. Imaging: Windows built-in.

 

Which backup software works well with Rollback Rx?Is it possible to backup the whole drive containing all the Rollback Rx snapshots?

 

yes, a restore can be scheduled from the desktop or manually at boot time from the Recovery Environment. (F8 - Repair Computer)

 

i'm not on Windows atm so i had the search the forum for an old post of mine.

sorry for the delay in answering as i totally forgot about this thread.

 

Recently I've done rather risky thing to 2 my comps (1: Win-7 Prof 32 bit, 2: Win- Home 32 bit) with RB Rx 9.1 with about 50-80 snapshots on both comps: I've made an image by Paragon free and then restored it. Some snapshots that were made after a significant windows update were lost, including the snapshot with this update. There were no other issues.

Then I repeated the same procedure with TeraByte. It gave no problems.

 

Due to full disk encryption, I'm using Wondershare Liveboot (free giveaway), because it's a LiveCD that works outside of unencrypted Windows.

I tried the method you suggested but it restarts and says ""windows did not start properly"

 

After 7 months of voting, the clear winner is Macrium Reflect with 22% of the vote.
Acronis follows with 15% and Windows Built-in is third with 13%.

None of the remaining 32 choices garnered more than 8% of the vote.

Sixteen choices received zero votes, and should possible be considered as "drop" candidates for the next Backup Imaging poll.

Thanks to all who have participated in this poll.

 

Everybody raise a glass to Macrium!! WooT!! Sad to see that more people are using Acronis over MS's solution 'cuz, well, Acronis is kind of a mess.

 

I use Keriver restore.

 

Restore Disk Drive Letters

MY first port of call is finding a Backup Program that has a Restore Disk that doesn't change the drive letters leaving me in a panic about going ahead and over writing something.

The only one I know that works is Macrium Reflect. The rescue disk after booting shows the the same drive letters as when in Windows.

I would like to use Active@ Disk Image but can't

I am dumping Acronis after supporting for years. Their answer is to go by drive names but I just can't trust it to try.

Any suggestions?
