| 1486195 | 2022-05-12 16:19:00 | Have you considered the built-in Window backup? This allows you to create a full image of your system. Also have a look at EaseUS ToDo Backup Free (www.easeus.com) - which will give you what you're looking for. |

| 1486196 | 2022-05-12 21:45:00 | Personally and recommend Macrium Reflect Free www.macrium.com The free home is down the page a little on the left. It does full images as well as Differential not incremental. I use it myself and is it set to do a full backup image on Saturdays with Differential nightly. The following link describes the differences, advantages / Disadvantages between Differentials & Incremental incremental-vs-differential-backup-what-are-the-differences-and-how-do-they-compare (blog.macrium.com) You have to watch out with some other Free Backups, as they don't allow you to make a bootable media either CD or USB, which is hopeless really because if your HDD fails you cant put back the whole backup without 1st having to install windows ( pointless). You want to be able to boot from media and put everything back on an empty drive - Macrium Free allows this. With Macrium, you can also mount the images and get any data off ( say a single file you accidently delete) As well as tick the box to install viBoot and you can mount the image as a Virtual Machine. |

| 1486197 | 2022-05-12 21:48:00 | Have you considered the built-in Window backup? . The built in Win backup works really well. (not the newer file history backup thing) Its in Control panel. Make sure you pick the options for a disk image & manually chose data to backup. It does both a Full image & a separate data backup But, one bug. If the USB Backup HD isnt big enough , it wont allways overwrite/remove old backups and will fail rather than deleting old backups like its supposed to, if a lack of free space on the backup drive Not really an issue 2Tb USB Hard Drives :-) |

| 1486198 | 2022-05-12 22:21:00 | One HUGE problem that the inbuilt Windows backup "had", they may have changed it now (I don't know as I don't trust it) is for example if you have a 1TB Drive in the computer and wish to put back to a SSD of lets say 512GB it wont go back stating not enough room when there may be plenty. The Windows backup looks for the same size or larger drive. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1486199 | 2022-05-13 07:40:00 | I just use syncback free for data and dont bother doing images anymore. As any software I use is available as downloads and windows/linux installs are so easy now | gary67 (56) | ||
