cloning or imaging which is best for restore in the even of hdd failure
Samson:
No, unlees you have chosen to save documents or data files on D
jraju:
Yes, i will try imaging and then write. Can i use the same version for windows 7 also? the filehippo version
Samson:
Windows 7 has its own backup, so do you need macrium there? Your choice.
The version I use is 5.3 build 7299 works on Win 7 and XP, newer versions available but I stick with this one as it works well for me.
KR:
I make a system image every week or two with Macrium Reflect (free) - works very well and goes fast. The images have saved me many times from my own booboos. I have Windows backup / restore point completely turned off.
Cheers
jraju:
Hi, How could you check whether the system will boot from rescue disk only on the failure of hdd or any alternative in running windows, but should be able to stop the process, as it is only for check.
Samson point is well taken to ask me to verify in advanced options to check the correct copy of system files to the ext.hdd.
Can i test and just exit by running rescue disk without actually killing my present working windows
