image backup

I created an Up To Date Image of her Win 7 HP OS for restoration if necessary. I would not think about this installation, or any major changes, without first creating an Image of the OS. I installed the 90 day Evaluation Copy of Win 8 Enterprise on my wife's PC last night, including all her...

Hello - I have a HP Pavilion with Windows 7 Premium 64, and have my computer back up daily, with weekly system image back ups using the Windows back up utility. This backs up to a DLink DNS 323 network storage device. Last Friday my hard drive failed, and I didn't feel too bad becuase of my back...

I have partitioned my hard disk into two logicals. I use one for executables and the other for data. Backing up Data (D) to an external USB hard drive is a non issue, but backing-up the system partition is not so simple. I thought I would automatically make an image file of the Sys (C)...

I was contemplating using a Raid 0 array as my primary C: drive with OS. I understand all the issues with that and do regular daily backups. I used to use Acronis which had no trouble with a raid array. But on this new build I was wondering if the built in backup tools would be able to image and...

This is obvious to many, but for the benefit of all. The Beta is imminent. May I suggest to everyone who intends to put it through its paces, that you get hold of an image program Acronis if you want to pay, but there are others, I have read good reports of Macrium. Make an image now of you...

I just got my laptop back from Acer and they had given me a new hard drive. I restored a disk image backup that I had made from Acronis True Image. The backup seemed a little strange going in, but none the less it worked anyway. I then went to Disk Management to look at the setup and noticed...

Thanks, in advance. I have seen how helpful you two are by browsing around here a bit. Mike, I got the Paragon software after seeing your YouTube tutorial, but my recovery disk program did not look like what you recorded. Could be you have a paid version, maybe they dumbed down the latest free...

Since it seems that Win7 can 'forget' a system image backup, is there any software that can directly use the files generated by Win7's system image app? (acronis and others can transform a sys image to their type but any direct use software?) Cause: If you perform a restore point earlier than a...

...but rather than re-installing the OS ( W7 Ultimate ) and all software can I not simply make an image and copy it to the SSD, thereafter modifying the BIOS to boot from the SSD rather than the original HDD leaving the latter available for data only ? I gather I have to disable Prefetch, Super...

My Acronis True Image 2009 failed. I didn't know that it was incompatible with Windows 7. I made a complete backup (which I presume is an image of drive C using the Windows 7 inbuilt backup. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the Acronis system, but is the built-in system as...

When I attempt to restore an image backup the wizard cannot find it. The wizard insists on looking in the network. I can easily find the image using Windows Explorer. Why can't the wizard find the image? It is on a second HHD that is installed, internally, on my computer.

I have now got Windows 7 on my laptop. I have window7 7 professional and want to make a complete image as I have all my applications set as I like them. My laptop does not have a CD/DVD drive. I sent the system image and backups to an external USB drive. When I went to make the "system recovery...

Is there any way to restore a system image to a new SMALLER drive than that from which it was created, even though the image size is much smaller than the new drive? According to the help file it's not possible. Is there a work around? Maybe I could copy the files across then do a system...

Good evening, I am looking to upgrade a computer with two physical hard disk drives (one each for OS and data files) to Win 7. I would like do a clean install of Win 7, get it all patched up and with the requisite software, and then make an image on the data file hdd. I believe that...
