Nothing easier than making images of your system, provided you choose a convenient program. As for myself, I’ve found mainly two easy and powerful backup, imaging and cloning tools, Macrium Reflect and Aomei Backupper.

You may face critical problems that cannot (or you think they cannot) be solved but only by performing a fresh Windows setup. As you know Windows offers an option to reset your PC, i.e. to keep your personal files (not even settings), if you want to, and reinstall the OS. It is not difficult though […]
The other day I faced this strange problem. Having replaced my 120GB Kingston SSD with Samsung 860 Evo 500GB SSD, I used Macrium Reflect and a Disk Image I had taken with it to clone my old disk and use all my programs in the new one without having to install or configure anything at […]
SyncFolders will help you to synchronize folders and subfolders, letting you also exclude subfolders you may not wish to replicate. I like simple backup programs, without compression, etc or endless dialogues of obscure settings, which is the reason I was attracted for a long time by Karen’s Replicator, a simple and great program, which, however, […]

CloneApp is a small portable utility […]
In this post I will help you to get back your system, restoring it without the need of Windows Recovery, and then I will propose a way (that I follow myself) for better safety measures in the future, always using free applications. First of all, you need to convert the system image Windows created, in […]
Raw Copy is a free program that will copy a disk as a raw image from one drive directly to another. It is designed for people who have a faulty drive and want to transfer the data directly to another drive without doing a file by file copy. This sort of copy saves the need […]
Two types of Clonezilla are available, live and SE (server edition) and both are free. Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore, while Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment; it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. […]
