backup solutions

I was wondering something... I have bought a new 1TB SATA hard drive to use in my desktop computer and to replace my old 80GB IDE hard drive currently sitting in there now. I have not long reinstalled Windows on it and installed all the updates. When the new hard drive comes, I want to be able...

:)) My Macbook was stolen a few days ago and now it's time to get a new computer. Not certain that I'll get another Mac. Aside from several things that I'm not crazy about with Apple and the Macbook, there's this consideration. I backed up my whole hard drive onto an external hard disk. Whenever...

Hey guys, I got a problem with my laptop. My old laptop crashed some weeks ago. It doesn't work anymore if I press the power button. So I took the hdd and connected it with desktop-pc to rescue the data. I had to get the rights for the user folder and windows got it automatically for me. But now...

This is perhaps an advanced question, I'm not really sure where it belongs but I'll ask it here I guess. I keep hard drive clones (not quite the same as copy/paste) which are made using macrium reflect - I do this so that when an OS drive eventually fails, I can just slot in this clone and be...

Drive E 'main data partition which contains all my important files' becomes RAW (not NTFS) after extending OS Drive C using partition wizard 9 software which finished successfully without errors! (all details available below): MY HARDDISK WAS RUNNING WITHOUT PROBLEMS BEFORE USING THIS SOFTWARE...

Hi everyone, I recently moved the main folders (Documents, Pictures, Videos...) to my secondary (non SSD) harddrive but I did a huge mistake. I set Documents to the Root D:/ folder (nowit's not called Documents anymore, but D:/), and inside of it i also put Pictures, Music, Videos and so on...

I have a desktop system that had WinXP on it. I bought a copy of Win7, put the install CD in the drive, and booted. After waiting a long time(*), it finally booted and offered me a choice: Upgrade Complete install I'd swear I chose fresh install, but when it finished installing all my user...

I've been searching through endless threads to find an answer to a bitlocker issue I'm having, and not having any luck. I had backed up my computer a few months ago (system image), and just restored it. I do this every few months. After I reinstall the old image, I do all of my updates, then...

I have created and stored a system image using the Windows 7 imaging capability and successfully restored a disk several times. They state that older images will be deleted once you use 30% of the backup disk space. Has anyone seen that 30% figure in practice? I have never seen more than one...
