Your PC will load up from the Boot disk and when it is finished you will see the Active@ interface which will then let you navigate to your Image file and reload it to where ever you want it. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1322156 | 2013-01-11 20:32:00 | Thankyou both for your help. I will give that a go when I have purchased the program and am able to make a Boot Disk. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1322157 | 2013-01-11 21:13:00 | The trial should allow you to make a bootable cd as well. As long as you downloaded the version that says "Installer & Bootable CD/USB. Size: 151 MB" Download page for reference www.disk-image.com If you want any pictures on "how to do a recovery" just say so and I'll make some up. :) Edited: BTW -- The bootable CD is exactly the same for functions as the installed program. Thats how to make images for system that wont boot if I need to save data before reinstalling. |

| 1322158 | 2013-01-11 22:10:00 | If you get time, pictures of the recovery procedure would be great. I am going to do some Incremental backups to see how it performs. I can't make a bootable disk so I didn't download the correct version. I am going to purchase the programme anyway so I will be able to do it then. |

| 1322159 | 2013-01-12 00:15:00 | Had another look at making a Bootable Disk and it looks like the BootDisk Creator.exe file not found. "If you installed a trial version of active@DiskImage, Please download and reinstall full version. I hope that doesn't mean I have to setup scheduled backups again. Should I uninstall the programme and start with the full version?. |

| 1322160 | 2013-01-13 20:53:00 | I can't win. My external backup drive decided to go to sleep prior to backup, so I got an error message. Perhaps scheduled backups are not such a great idea after all. |

| 1322161 | 2013-01-13 21:21:00 | For reasons of simplicity I flagged away scheduled backups and trained myself to run it at the same time each week. Daily important data is backed up to a flash drive. It works for me. Anything else always seemed to want to run when it was inconvenient to me. I have no desire to leave everything switched on 24/7 and have automatic backups running in the middle ofthe night. It is really horses for courses so long as I can recover easily from a disaster I am satisfied without making it complicated just for the sake of it. |

| 1322163 | 2013-01-13 22:04:00 | I am having second thoughts about doing Incremental backups and just doing the same as you. Is there any advantage in doing Incremental backups?. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1322164 | 2013-01-13 23:33:00 | You could try shadow protect for desktop, does image and incremental, you can also boot from the backup image! | SolMiester (139) | ||
