where is the tutorial please?

I’ve had great experience with Macrium reflect.

Hi – I’ve used Macrium (free) for some time now. It is very easy to use – I’ve had zero difficulty choosing options, as the labels are very clear. It also has functioned flawlessly.

Hello – I also use Macrium Reflect and I use the option to back up all folders required to backup and restore Windows.  I have thoroughly tested it and it works beautifully.  It is not a full disk image in the sense of a forensic bit for bit image.   I know because it condenses a 120 gb C:  drive and all other drives required by this process to a roughly 40 gb file.

I keep all my “user files” like excel spreadsheets, documents, etc. on a separate drive specifically dedicated to holding these user files, so that they are unaffected by the backup/restore process.   For backup of those files I use iDrive, although there are many options out there.

Good luck.  John Bridges

 

Hi – I had that problem too.  Updraft does not notify you when it runs out of space on your backup.  It just fails.  That’s a bit of a bug.

I bought some extra backup space for my site, and now it works fine.

Good luck!  John Bridges
