Hi Everyone For problems, please start separate threads. I think it will get a little difficul When I Hi Hawes29 Please start a separate thread with your question. My laptop does not have a a cd-rom or floppy drive.
Do you have similar issue? Step 1. Download the following two archive software and run the format tool as administrator. After that, click Start to mount DOS system files. Step 4. Click Yes when you are asked if you are really want to process with Format. Then, click OK. Step 5. It allows you to create bootable USB drive easily. And you can also choose to create an ISO image file so you can burn to any removable devices.
Besides, the bootable media is possible to boot any version of Windows. It helps you create image backup for the system, disk, partition or file. Then when something goes wrong, you can restore computer to an earlier date that works well or recover important data as soon as possible.
How about give it a try? First download and install it on your computer and then follow the steps below to create bootable USB as well as create image backup. Please remember to backup your USB drive in advance, because it will erase all the data. Step 2. There are programs that work only with a particular format and not the other, this will simplify our work. Thank you.
I tried Seagate Disc Wizard for a while. I would never want to depend on Seagate Disc Wizard. I have tried all of these, but one thing that I miss with Ghost was its ability to build its own recovery media into the backup DVD. One bad experience I had in the past, which is why I returned to Ghost, was if I misplaced the particular version of the recovery media, then my past backup files could not be read by the updated current version.
So, is there a good program out there that is like Ghost where the recovery program is built into the recovery media DVDs instead of being separate? What about a partial backup? The installed software will likely be far to integrated into Windows folders and the registry. My favorite has been Paragon Drive Copy for several years now.
They were the first software to be able to copy a Windows 8 UEFI partition without having to tweak any of the settings and have the resulting clone drive be bootable. Seems dubious, there have been similar claims in the past but no one has been able to do this right, but their other software is great so I will have to try it out.
What image backup software is tested to work with Windows 10? Most I see are for win 7 or 8. Windows 10 compatibility is not listed because the article was released before it came out. They all do support Windows 10 though. Veeam Endpoint Backup free is worth considering. It has a nice set of features and is fast for both backup and restore. Using an older version of Ghost on Windows 7, this seemed to work OK — it supported setting up the bigger partitions on the target drive beforehand and handled cloning to the larger partitions on the target drive.
I tried it with Clonezilla, but it seems to want to clone to the target with the only same exact partition size as the source. I am currently using Aomei for my machines and although it is not as fast as the old Ghost or SSR it does the job. It has restored my test machine several time without an issue. At one point a newest SSR failed when I tried to restore my test machine. Aomei came to the rescue and it did restore it.
I am rather impressed with the features it has and the cost for the full version is very reasonable. The free version does not contain the scheduler which is the only limitation on the free version. It is a very good product. I had a failing drive, needed to transfer to a new one.
It took maybe six mouse cliks. If you need it just one time this is the way to go. Looking for tool to copy one windows 8. My goal is for the set up of each computer to be identical. I need to be able to input the correct Windows license on the second or third or fourth computer as I do this. Can any of the above mentioned products do this so each computer will have its own license when I am finished? As far as I know that is not possible in these 3 applications, and no other backup software may be able to do it either.
That should deactivate it so you can enter a new key in the System window. From your post I understand that you have no problem filling in new license codes. As long as you change the code the moment you start up the machine, you are not into too much legal trouble. Especially when it is a one-off job of small proportions say like 4 computers. Microsoft does have tools for deploying similar computers where you must fill in the license code when starting up such a computer, but that are solutions for companies and are not nearly as simple or clear-cut as the software discussed here in this article.
Or you could do a full restore. The downside of windows-image-backup is a bare-metal restore may take a lot of manual steps. In a production env, clonezilla is a part of fog which can do bare-metal restore via a small pxe-booted linux environment. Thanks for the nice article! The article mentions that all 3 will backup to network, Acronis specifically mentions that it backs up to NAS.
Hi Raymond, great article. One thing I did not see is how large the bootable or rescue media need to be. I have flash drives lying around from MB on up. The only thing missing is what size the resulting file s are. Hate to go thru the whole process and find sorry, not enough space on media. We did a major comparison of resulting file sizes here: raymond. You could always get a full SP1 disc ; raymond. Does anyone use Terabyte to backup their machines? More so, even when validates… I have had more restore failures with Acronis than any other app.
So… now I migrate towards Aomei because they too have the lifetime license and they really make it easy.
I even cloned and restored a drive the other day and it worked great. I really think that in these situations when you need to do such critic stuff, like backup of the system you should rely on a good and famous program like Acronis… or the free version of Acronis.
I have tried many backup programs but most of these when the time comes failed. The only program that work for me is todo backup and it is also free. The option is not available in the free version…. Easeus makes the best free Windows partition program, but I am less than thrilled with Todo, so I appreciate this article and an actual email from raymond. I have tried clonezilla and it serves the purpose in most cases. The ideal solution that I need is browsable image for linux or dual boot systems.
I will greatly appreciate your help in this matter since I have spent a lot of time over the years looking for such solution. There is at least 6 different version of the 3 applications, all have different sizes, maximum is about MB for the Acronis tools.
We did some tests a few months back of imaging software compression ratio and speed, although not at max compression, they still give you a good idea.
