| 1123691 | 2010-08-01 09:19:00 | Hi. I have a new computer running windows 7 64bit. I have a 500GB hard drive partitioned with a 200GB partition for program files and the 300GB for documents etc. I also have two x 1TB Sata 3 drives - one for photos and the other for other media. I am wanting to add another internal 500GB and two more 1TB drives to back up the other drives. Is there back up software that will allow me to do this? In my ignorance I can't figure out if the available back up software will do what I want. |

Images - like a photocopy of the partition or drive - Acronis, Paragon do this type of software. best to boot off the CD and run it rather than from within WIndows. |

| 1123694 | 2010-08-01 11:22:00 | Add to above post --- Have a read of This thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) - this software Does work. Some of the other imaging software, while it appears to work, actually fails when its required. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1123695 | 2010-08-01 19:54:00 | Second what Wainui says read that thread I had an epic image fail last week Paragon backup 10.2 free wreaked havoc on my C drive. The software mentioned in that thread is working well I created an image yesterday and reinstalled it last night to test it and all good | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1123696 | 2010-08-01 21:42:00 | Hmm, I have whatever version of Paragon (before 10) and used it happily with WIn7. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1123697 | 2010-08-02 00:47:00 | Does the built in windows 7 backup let you restore individual files or does it only restore everything in the backup? | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 1123698 | 2010-08-02 03:20:00 | Does the built in windows 7 backup let you restore individual files or does it only restore everything in the backup? Yep -- have a read (windows.microsoft.com) #3 | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1123699 | 2010-08-02 03:40:00 | I am very happy with Macrium Reflect. The free version is good for most people. Images, schedules, restore individual files etc). My C: takes 9 min to image. www.macrium.com |
